The Nursing Program at Edmonds College prepares individuals to become Licensed Practical Nurses. It has received approval by the Washington State Board of Nursing. Graduates receive a certificate of proficiency in practical nursing.

The program is designed for students who are currently working in healthcare. The students will integrate theory and practice throughout the nursing program. Theory courses will be taught using online and hybrid (online and in class) instruction. Students will apply their theoretical knowledge during laboratory experiences on campus one to two days per week and during clinical experiences caring for patients in long-term care facilities, acute care hospitals, and community agencies.

Our new practical nursing (PN) curriculum will be aligned with the LPN Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) pathway and streamlines the required credits for the prerequisites and the PN certificate. This means that students will have a seamless transition to progress to the RN or BSN level. Students will be able to take less credits, save money, and simplify the process of continuing their education.

Please note that the PN program is designed for students who are currently working in healthcare. International students are not eligible to apply.
