Edgecombe Community College LPN Program in Tarboro, NC

The Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program at Edgecombe Community College is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment necessary to provide competent and compassionate nursing care. The program provides a curriculum grounded in nursing theory, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and medical-surgical nursing. Students participate in hands-on training in well-equipped skills labs, practicing essential nursing procedures and patient care techniques. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to clinical experiences, where students gain real-world experience under the supervision of experienced nurses in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare settings. The program typically takes about one year to complete and prepares graduates to take the NCLEX-PN examination. Successful completion of the NCLEX-PN leads to licensure as a Licensed Practical Nurse, opening doors to employment opportunities in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and home healthcare agencies. Graduates can expect to provide direct patient care, administer medications, monitor vital signs, assist with treatments, and educate patients and families.
