Licensed Practical Nurse - Northeastern Technical College

Licensed Practical Nurse from Northeastern Technical College is a Campus Certificate Nursing Education degree that prepares you for a Nursing career. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) plays a vital role in the health team concept and must have a sound background in basic health sciences and technical skills. Practical nursing is the basic level of nursing that applies principles of therapeutic, rehabilitative, and preventive care for people of all ages and cultures in various stages of dependency. The LPN practices nursing with the guidance of a registered nurse or physician in a variety of health care settings. NETC utilizes a competitive admissions process. Students must first meet Basic Eligibility Criteria, then provide other data necessary to meet specific program accreditation standards and/or to improve the student?s ability to successfully complete the program. Additional required information includes health and immunization status, CPR certification, and other information required by clinical facilities. This includes criminal background checks, drug testing and other documentation. Specific criteria for admission are published prior to each class admission cycle and available upon request from the Admissions Office or at www.netc.edu. Qualified applicants not accepted due to space limitations will remain eligible in rank order if any vacancy occurs. Students must reapply for the next class, if not admitted; applications are not carried forward and no consideration is given to applications from the previous year . Students who have two attempts (withdrawal or dismissal) in any NETC nursing program are not eligible for admission or readmission for 5 years. Applicants who have withdrawn due to extenuating circumstances may submit a written request for consideration to the Nursing Admissions Committee, whose decision is final. Conviction of a crime may make an applicant ineligible for clinical rotations or be denied licensure. It is the student?s responsibility to clear any court records.
