Allied Health Patient Care

A Practical Nurse is a contributing member of the healthcare team. Under the direction of RN, they provide basic bedside care, assist in evaluating the needs of the patients or clients, and monitor their condition. PNs are responsible for data collection, including all aspects of physical assessments, prioritizing the implementation of therapeutics nursing measures, providing and delegating direct patient care and assisting clients in the prevention and promotion of healthcare. They provide care to the patient or client by assisting in their personal hygiene and providing comfort measures. A Practical Nurse is trained to utilize the nursing process and critical thinking reasoning to provide care and always promote patient safety in diverse healthcare delivery settings. 

Our program combines classroom course work with clinical experiences in a variety of area facilities with diverse populations to prepare our future PNs for the work force in both acute and long-term care settings. Our PN classes offer the flexibility of a fulltime day or part-time evening/Saturday program.
