Concorde's Practical Nursing program equips students with the foundational skills needed to enter the healthcare field as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). LPNs deliver basic patient care under the guidance of registered nurses and physicians across a wide range of settings.

Their responsibilities include feeding newborns, managing wound care, supporting chemotherapy patients, and helping elderly patients maintain their quality of life. LPNs also maintain patient records and relay critical updates to the broader care team.

Through this program, students gain hands-on training — including intravenous (IV) skills and certification — that can lead to higher earning potential with select employers. The curriculum also incorporates an NCLEX-PN review to help students feel confident heading into the licensure exam.

Designed to be completed in as few as 10 months, this diploma program prepares graduates to work across various healthcare environments, from hospitals to long-term care facilities.

Concorde's Aurora campus is currently enrolling students who are passionate about patient care — from newborns to seniors. If you're ready to launch a meaningful career in nursing, this program offers a focused, efficient path to becoming a licensed practical nurse.
