Wake Technical Community College LPN Program in Raleigh, NC

The LPN program at Wake Technical Community College is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel as Licensed Practical Nurses. This program provides a comprehensive education in nursing principles, patient care techniques, and medical procedures. Students learn how to administer medications, monitor vital signs, assist with medical procedures, and provide direct patient care under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians. A significant component of the program is dedicated to hands-on clinical experiences in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics. These experiences allow students to apply their classroom learning in real-world situations, developing critical thinking and practical nursing skills. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, and geriatrics. The program typically takes about one year to complete and prepares graduates to take the NCLEX-PN examination. Upon successful completion of the program and licensure, graduates can pursue careers as LPNs in hospitals, long-term care facilities, physicians’ offices, and home healthcare agencies. The LPN credential can also serve as a stepping stone for individuals seeking to further their nursing education and become Registered Nurses (RNs).
