Nursing Course Sequence

Nursing studentsThe Nursing Sequence involves six courses for the non-LPN student and five courses for the LPN student. (LPN’s are not required to take NURS 200. This course is waived for the LPNs who are accepted to the nursing program.)

It takes 14 months to complete the nursing sequence for the non-LPN student and 12 months for the LPN student.

All six credit-hour courses require both classroom and clinical/lab hours. All six credit-hour nursing courses meet four times a week: two days a week for lecture and two days a week for clinicals. Days of the week for the nursing classes and clinicals vary per session.
