A career as a practical nurse can be a rewarding opportunity to provide caring medical support to individuals and families across the lifespan. In this program, you’ll learn how to provide patient care, monitor patients’ health, collect medical data, communicate patients’ status and concerns to registered nurses and doctors, and gain hands-on clinical experience. The program is designed in a convenient distance learning format, which allows you to complete the majority of your coursework online, with a few visits to campus, and your clinical hours completed at an approved site where you live. The PN program is fully approved by the Montana State Board of Nursing. Upon successful completion of the program, you are eligible to sit for the National Council of State Boards Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) to become a Licensed Practical Nurse.
