PRACTICAL NURSING

Deadline to apply for Spring Semester: November 1st, 2024

In partnership with the NWA community, our program is committed to providing nursing education to serve the educational needs of students wishing to enter a recognized health care profession so they may achieve competence requirements for licensure by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing.

ABOUT PRACTICAL NURSING

Practical nurses perform bedside nursing skills, interact with patients and their families, administer medications, function as team members and charge nurses. Practical nurses are employed in hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, outpatient centers, and in home health care. NWTI’s Practical Nursing Program graduates are in high demand in the NWA community.

ARTICULATION OPPORTUNITIES

NWTI’s PN graduates may also qualify to enroll in the Associate Degree Nursing program at NWACC or the Bachelor’s Degree of Nursing program at the U of A.

STATE LICENSURE EXAM

Upon successful completion of the Practical Nursing program, the student is eligible to graduate from NWTI and apply for licensure with the Arkansas State Board of Nursing.

Completion of the Practical Nursing program does not guarantee eligibility for licensure by the State of Arkansas. Persons convicted of certain crimes may not be eligible to write the NCLEX-PN according to Act 1208 of 1999.
