Laurel Ridge Community College LPN Program in Middletown, VA

The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) program at Laurel Ridge Community College is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide direct patient care under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians. This comprehensive program typically covers a range of essential nursing concepts, including medical-surgical nursing, pharmacology, anatomy and physiology, maternal-child health, and mental health nursing. Students will engage in classroom learning, laboratory simulations using state-of-the-art equipment, and extensive clinical rotations at local healthcare facilities. Through these experiences, students will gain practical skills in areas such as medication administration, wound care, vital sign monitoring, and patient assessment. The program is structured to prepare graduates for the NCLEX-PN examination, the national licensure exam for practical nurses. Successful completion of the program allows graduates to pursue entry-level LPN positions in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other healthcare settings. The LPN program may also serve as a stepping stone for further education, with opportunities to pursue an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) through LPN-to-RN bridge programs, potentially offered at Laurel Ridge or partner institutions.
