Community College of Baltimore County LVN Program in Rosedale, MD

The Licensed Vocational Nursing (LVN) program at the Community College of Baltimore County is designed to prepare students for a rewarding career as a healthcare professional. This rigorous program combines classroom instruction, hands-on laboratory experiences, and extensive clinical rotations to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to provide safe and effective patient care. Students can expect to learn about anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and medical-surgical nursing, as well as specialized areas such as geriatrics, pediatrics, and mental health. The curriculum is structured to cover fundamental nursing principles and build towards advanced clinical skills.

The program’s typical duration is approximately 12-18 months, culminating in eligibility to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN). CCBC’s LVN program emphasizes patient safety, critical thinking, and ethical practice. Upon successful completion of the program and passing the NCLEX-PN exam, graduates are qualified to work as Licensed Vocational Nurses/Licensed Practical Nurses in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, physicians’ offices, and home healthcare agencies. The program also potentially provides a strong foundation for those who wish to pursue further education in nursing, such as a BSN degree, through articulation agreements with four-year institutions.
