About

Earning a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN/LPN) license can greatly improve your career prospects. This accreditation opens the door to a variety of job opportunities in the healthcare field. Obtaining this license usually involves attending and completing a state-approved nursing program, such as at Mercy College of Health Sciences. This program provides both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the nursing field for a comprehensive understanding of patient care. Once completed, you must then pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) to officially become a certified LVN/LPN. This exam tests the fundamental skills required to safely and effectively practice nursing at an entry-level position.
