At US Nursing College, we offer a comprehensive range of nursing programs that cater to various stages of professional development. From foundational nursing pathways to advanced degrees, our programs are designed to support and elevate your nursing journey.
Practical nursing offers a rewarding career path for individuals seeking to contribute to patient care in a healthcare setting. Through this program, you acquire essential skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience, allowing you to become a vital member of the healthcare team. Practical nurses play a crucial role in patient care, working alongside registered nurses and supervising certified nursing assistants to ensure high-quality care. This career provides both opportunities for personal growth and the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
Your prior education can affect the curriculum of your LPN training. Many programs require certain core classes or prerequisites to be completed beforehand. I you haven't done so, you'll need to take those courses before enrolling or complete them separately. However, if your previous education covers specific requirements, you might be able to skip certain classes, making your curriculum easier.
After classroom instructions, you are given the chance to put your learned information into practice which exposes you to real-world scenarios under expert supervision. This invaluable hands-on training is placed in hospitals doctor’s offices and various healthcare settings, equipping you with the confidence and skills necessary to excel in your future careers.
Graduating from these programs opens the door to a career as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or provides a path to further education through bachelor's degree programs. All graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-PN exam, which is required in every state to become licensed and work as an LPN or LVN.
This Program offers an excellent foundation for those passionate about making a positive impact on others' lives. By promoting health, preventing disease, and contributing to healthier communities, this program equips individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to make a meaningful difference in the field of healthcare. It’s a valuable starting point for anyone looking to pursue a rewarding career dedicated to the well-being of others.
In addition, the Practical Nurse Program is a comprehensive one-year certification course that prepares students to provide direct, holistic nursing care under the supervision of licensed healthcare professionals. With a wide range of career opportunities available in various healthcare settings, such as long-term care, doctor's offices, and home health, this program offers students a solid foundation for a rewarding career as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program provides students with the foundational skills needed to deliver essential patient care in long-term care settings. By training in both the classroom and clinical practicum, students learn to assist licensed nurses in daily patient activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating, while also monitoring vital signs. CNAs play a vital role in patient care, often spending more time with patients than other healthcare team members. Upon completion of the program, students are well-prepared to take the State CNA Exam and begin their careers as compassionate and skilled caregivers in healthcare
Being a CNA requires a combination of specialized training and personal qualities to be successful. While CNA classes provide the essential skills and knowledge needed for the role, the ability to empathize, communicate effectively, and maintain patience are crucial for providing excellent care. Whether working with elderly, ill, or recovering patients, or those with physical or emotional challenges, possessing these innate qualities alongside the technical skills will ensure you are an effective and compassionate caregiver.
As you progress in your career and gain more experience, specializing in a specific area of care can open new opportunities and enhance your professional growth. Earning a specialty certification as a CNA allows you to deepen your knowledge and skills in a particular field, such as hospice care or medication administration. This not only helps you provide better care to your patients but also qualifies you for advanced positions that require specialized expertise, ultimately advancing your career and increasing your job satisfaction.
For certified nursing assistants looking to advance their careers, pursuing further education to become an LPN or RN can open up new opportunities and increase earning potential. While the educational requirements vary, with LPN programs taking about one year and RN programs ranging from two to four years, bridge programs can help shorten the path by recognizing CNA experience. This pathway allows CNAs to build on their existing knowledge while advancing in their nursing careers, offering greater responsibilities and more specialized roles in the healthcare field.
