The program equips graduates with the knowledge and skill set to administer safe, ethical, patient-centered nursing care in traditional and alternative health care settings. The Practical Nurse (PN) role within the nursing process is taught through classroom learning, simulated client care, and instructor-supervised clinical experiences in health care settings.

The mission of the 抖阴pro Practical Nursing Program is to provide a program of theory and practice in a supportive environment in which students will develop knowledge, skills and behavior essential for success as a licensed practical nurse.
The 抖阴pro Practical Nursing Program believes that Practical Nursing is grounded in the biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual sciences practiced under the supervision of a registered nurse or other qualified health care professional. Nursing is devoted to promoting, maintaining, and restoring the health of individuals as well as promoting a peaceful, dignified death. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN’s) care for diverse individuals across the lifespan in a variety of inpatient and community based settings by providing safe, culturally sensitive, individualized patient/relationship centered care and by participating as a member of the health care team.
LPN’s recognize that teamwork and interprofessional collaboration among health care professionals is critical to delivering safe, quality patient care. Ongoing quality improvement activities are performed in concert with other members of the health care team. Implementing established evidence based care, skills in informatics, and patient care technology is essential to the delivery of quality, safe, patient-centered care.
Professional values guide interactions with individuals, families and the health care team. LPN’s demonstrate professional behaviors by exhibiting accountability for their actions, meeting the health care needs of patients, and assuming legal responsibility for the care they provide. LPN’s demonstrate professional identity by upholding their commitment to the public and by adhering to an established code of ethics.
The major roles of the LPN includes providing nursing care and participating as a member of the nursing profession. As providers of care, LPN’s contribute to the promotion of wellness; use nursing judgment in the identification of current and emerging patient problems and function as advocates for individual patients. In addition, LPN’s manage care of the individual patient through the use of established protocols and evidence based care incorporating the nursing process and caring as essential tools. LPN’s work ithin an established plan of care to assign other LPN’s and assign and monitor unlicensed assistive personnel tasks/activities to provide safe, quality patient care. LPN’s provide health care information and reinforce education provided by other members of the health care team to achieve positive clinical outcomes.
