SUNY Westchester Community College LPN Program in Valhalla, NY

The LPN program at SUNY Westchester Community College provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become licensed practical nurses and provide direct patient care. The program typically covers core nursing concepts, including medical-surgical nursing, maternal-child health, pediatrics, geriatrics, and mental health. Students learn to perform essential nursing duties, such as taking vital signs, administering medications, assisting with treatments, and educating patients and their families. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to clinical practice, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world healthcare settings under the supervision of experienced nurses and instructors. The program duration is typically one to two years, culminating in an Associate’s degree or certificate. Upon successful completion of the program and passing the NCLEX-PN exam, graduates are prepared to work in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and home healthcare agencies. Many LPNs use their experience as a stepping stone to pursue further nursing education and become registered nurses (RNs).
