Harrisburg Area Community College LPN Program in Harrisburg, PA

The LPN program at Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent and compassionate Licensed Practical Nurses. The curriculum encompasses a wide range of nursing topics, including anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, and mental health nursing. Students gain hands-on experience through clinical rotations in diverse healthcare settings, such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, and clinics. These clinical experiences provide valuable opportunities to apply classroom learning and develop essential nursing skills under the guidance of experienced nurses.

The program aims to prepare graduates for the NCLEX-PN examination, enabling them to pursue licensure as LPNs. Upon successful completion of the program and licensure, graduates can find employment in various healthcare settings, providing direct patient care under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians. The LPN role often involves administering medications, monitoring patient conditions, assisting with procedures, and providing emotional support to patients and their families. The LPN program at HACC may also serve as a pathway for students who wish to pursue further education in nursing, such as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
