LPNs work in acute care facilities, long-term care facilities, community settings, and other settings where health care is delivered. The work week is usually 40 or more hours and may include 8, 10, or 12-hour shifts, weekends, nights, and holidays. The LPN must have the ability to respond calmly under pressure in emergency situations, participate as a patient advocate, and communicate and collaborate with members of the healthcare team. The work can be physically demanding requiring the ability to bend, stoop, lift, and work in a fast-paced environment. The Practical Nursing program is approved by the Florida State Board of Nursing and is designed to prepare students to take and pass the licensing examination and gain employment as Licensed Practical Nurses. The program includes classroom, laboratory, simulation, and clinical experience in local acute and long-term care facilities. Nursing fundamentals, medical surgical nursing, maternity and pediatric nursing, comprehensive and transitional nursing, and employability skills are included in the program. Students will experience interactive simulated labs and actual clinic rotation in a variety of health-care settings, work as a key member of a professional health-care team to deliver skilled and compassionate patient care, perform advanced medical procedures, administer medications, collect patient data, monitor IV's, and provide wound care. Not only will students study how the body functions, but also how emotional and mental well-being affects overall health. Students will learn evidence-based practice for the nursing care of each individual patient. The content includes theoretical instruction and clinical experience (which is 50% of the program) in medical, surgical, obstetric, pediatric, and geriatric nursing; in acute care, long-term care, and community settings; personal, family, and community health concepts; nutrition; human growth and development over the life span; body structure and function; interpersonal relationship skills, mental health concepts; pharmacology and administration of medications; legal aspects of practice; and current issues in nursing. This program offers a sequence of courses that provides coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to take and pass the licensing examination (NCLEX-PN) and gain employment as a Licensed Practical Nurse. The Practical Nursing program is offered at CCTC as a full-time program that is designed to be completed in one year. Additionally, CCTC offers a part-time Practical Nursing program that is designed to be completed in two years."},"ceterms:alternateName":{"en-US":["Practical Nursing"]},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://capecoraltech.edu/course/practical-nursing-pn-full-time-part-time/","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}],"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=56","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=51.3901","ceterms:codedNotation":"51.3901","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse Training."},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"A program that prepares individuals to assist in providing general nursing care under the direction of a registered nurse, physician or dentist.
