About
The Nursing degree prepares the student to sit for the NCLEX-PN and RN exams. Following successful completion of the appropriate NCLEX exam, the graduate is able to practice as a Licensed Practical Nurse (after the first three semesters of the program) and as a Registered Nurse (after completing the second year of the program to earn the AAS degree). The first and second levels of the Nursing program are offered on both of our main campuses, located in Chanute and Ottawa, Kansas. Application to NCCC must be made prior to application to the Nursing program. Students successfully completing the first level receive a LPN certificate and sit for the LPN board exam. Students successfully passing the LPN board exam will gain LPN licensure and have the option to continue their education as Level II students. Level II courses are offered in Chanute or Ottawa and in a hybrid format. Students who successfully complete second level courses receive an Associate of Applied Science degree, making them eligible to sit for the RN board exam.
