About

The Practical Nursing certificate program is a 12 month, 41-credit certificate program designed to provide both theory and clinical experience in nursing in which students learn to work as members of the health care team under the supervision of the registered nurse and to assist other licensed health care professionals.  The certificate prepares students for the licensure examination for practical nurses, and graduates of the program are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN). The program also provides opportunities to plan for career mobility through articulation with Harford Community College’s associate degree nursing program as well as other associate degree nursing programs in the state of Maryland. The Practical Nursing Certificate Nursing Program is approved by the Maryland Board of Nursing.
