As one of two tracks in Scarlet’s Health Academy, High School Practical Nursing might be for you. You will learn nursing fundamentals including patient care, data collection, human development, pharmacology, and administering medications. You will apply your skills in a real world clinical setting. The program prepares you to take the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX?PN); pass it and you will receive your license as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and can begin working right away. Many students choose to continue their education in an associate or bachelor’s registered nursing program.
