Wayne Community College LPN Program in Goldsboro, NC

The Practical Nursing (LPN) program at Wayne Community College is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide competent and compassionate nursing care under the direction of a registered nurse or physician. This program typically involves a combination of classroom instruction, laboratory practice, and clinical experiences. Students can expect to learn about basic nursing principles, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-newborn nursing, pediatric nursing, and mental health nursing. Clinical rotations in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other healthcare facilities are an integral part of the program, offering valuable hands-on experience in a variety of settings. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) and, upon passing, become licensed practical nurses. LPNs typically work in a variety of healthcare settings, providing direct patient care, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and assisting with other healthcare tasks. The program often serves as a pathway to further education, allowing graduates to pursue an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and become Registered Nurses (RNs).
