About
The Practical Nursing program at Fortis provides the theory, laboratory and clinical experiences to prepare students to sit for the NCLEX licensure exam and pursue an entry-level position in Practical Nursing. After graduating the program, passing the exam and meeting any other requirements, the practical nurse becomes a “licensed” practical nurse, also known as an LPN.
The Fortis curriculum is a balance of traditional classroom instruction, laboratory work and hands-on skill development. The clinical portion of the PN nursing curriculum includes real-world hands-on experience providing nursing care to diverse patient populations in hospitals and other healthcare agencies. In addition, the clinical portion of the PN program will enable the student to observe first-hand and learn the qualities that are crucial to employability.
Our experienced and dedicated faculty teach courses in the Practical Nursing program include science and health topics, as well as math for medical professionals and pharmacology. LPN courses cover content including basic Nursing Skills, Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Emergency Care, Pediatric Nursing, Obstetric Nursing, Medical/Surgical Nursing and more.
