Practical Nursing (PN) Certificate Program
Atlantic Cape’s Practical Nursing (PN) Certificate Program can provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to help start your nursing career journey. Designed to be completed in 18 months, the PN Program cohort allows students to learn in a smaller class setting while offering personalized attention and an all-encompassing teaching experience that includes in-person classroom, laboratory and faculty-supervised clinics similar to registered nursing (RN) programs.
Upon earning your PN certificate, students may be eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN exam and enter the workforce. If graduates wish to continue their nursing studies they can apply to a LPN-to-RN program right here at Atlantic Cape or at any other institution. PNs can be a part of a growing and rewarding industry providing basic patient care, and supporting doctors and RNs with their patients.
This is a competitive program with limited spaces available. Admission will be awarded based on a comprehensive judging rubric. Additional points will be awarded to students currently employed in Healthcare and to residents of Atlantic or Cape May counties. Course are held exclusively at the Worthington Atlantic City Campus.
Scholarship opportunities may be available for new and returning students.
