BSCTC offers a one year program leading to a diploma in Practical Nursing following successful completion of the program. The Kentucky Board of Nursing (KBN) will then determine the graduate’s eligibility to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and practice in the state of Kentucky under the supervision of a registered nurse, physician or dentist. A separate admission process must be completed in order to be considered for the practical nursing program.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) may be employed in a wide range of health care facilities as well as other industries.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the national median annual wage for occupations in this area of study is $64,690. Find Out More
Once admitted into the practical nursing program completion usually takes 3 semesters.
