Clinical Experience
The curriculum includes classroom, lab simulation, and hands-on clinical training. Clinical experience is provided through direct care and interaction with patients in a clinical setting. Students are taught nursing skills and clinical judgment in a controlled environment using high fidelity mannequins. Students build confidence by practicing routine procedures in the skills lab and simulating crisis situations in the simulation center.
NCLEX-RN Preparation
Our Diploma in Practical Nursing program curriculum was specifically developed to prepare our students for the NCLEX-PN and the NCLEX review courses start at the beginning of the Practical Nursing program. A regular schedule of clinical judgment exercises and video tutorials, test student?s knowledge at every milestone within the program. When our students have completed the program and are ready to take the actual NCLEX-PN exam, it will feel like second nature, giving nursing graduates the best chance of passing on their first attempt!
