The licensed practical nurse (LPN) plays a vital role in the health team concept and must have a sound background in basic health sciences and technical skills. Practical nursing is the basic level of nursing that applies principles of therapeutic, rehabilitative, and preventive care for people of all ages and cultures in various stages of dependency. The LPN practices nursing with the guidance of a registered nurse or physician in a variety of health care settings.
Admissions Process
NETC utilizes a competitive admissions process. Students must first meet Basic Eligibility Criteria, then provide other data necessary to meet specific program accreditation standards and/or to improve the student's ability to successfully complete the program. Additional required information includes health and immunization status, CPR certification, and other information required by clinical facilities. This includes criminal background checks, drug testing and other documentation. (Conviction of a crime may make an applicant ineligible for clinical rotations or be denied licensure.) It is the student's responsibility to clear any court records. Specific criteria for admission are published prior to each class admission cycle and available upon request from the Admissions Office.
Reapplying to the Program
Qualified applicants not accepted due to space limitations will remain eligible in rank order if any vacancy occurs. Students must reapply for the next class, if not admitted; applications are not carried forward and no consideration is given to applications from the previous year. Students who have two attempts (withdrawal or dismissal) in any NETC nursing program are not eligible for admission or readmission for five years. Applicants who have withdrawn due to extenuating circumstances may submit a written request for consideration to the Nursing Admissions Committee, whose decision is final.
Program Length
The program requires 48 semester hours of instruction in a combination of classroom and clinical settings. Course work can be completed in two semesters and one summer term at which time students must pass the National Council on Licensure Exam (NCLEX – PN) to become a licensed practical nurse. Students may be required to complete prerequisite coursework for program eligibility.

Applicants must submit medical forms, proof of current immunizations, appropriate CPR certification, satisfactory criminal background check and other required screenings. In order to participate in clinical activities, students must meet published clinical agency requirements. Requirements may include, but are not limited to immunizations, criminal background checks, and drug testing.
