About
The School of Practical Nursing is a post-secondary course that provides skills necessary for licensed practical nursing. It teaches the fundamentals of patient care and professional development. Training in infection control and medical-surgical nursing is also provided. This program prepares students to take the Licensed Practical Nursing Examination for licensure through the West Virginia State Board of Examiners.
Our curriculum is practice oriented. Planned learning experiences are designed to prepare the practical nurse in assisting the primary health care agent and the professional nurse in assessment, planning, implantation, and evaluation of nursing care. The major focus is on implantation. The curriculum is divided into units of study. Units are divided into specific lessons and contain theory and clinical practice.
Classroom and clinical training are provided from April to March of each year in order to prepare students to take the WV State Board Exam for Licensed Practical Nursing.
