East Arkansas Community College LPN Program in Forrest City, AR

The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) program at East Arkansas Community College (EACC) is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment necessary to provide competent and compassionate nursing care. Typically, this program lasts around 12-18 months and combines classroom instruction, laboratory practice, and clinical rotations. The curriculum commonly covers areas such as basic nursing skills, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-newborn nursing, pediatric nursing, and geriatrics. Students learn how to administer medications, monitor vital signs, provide wound care, assist with activities of daily living, and educate patients and their families. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to clinical experience, allowing students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world healthcare settings such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, and clinics. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN). Passing this exam allows graduates to become licensed and practice as an LPN, assisting patients under the direction of registered nurses and physicians.
