I have a Medical Assisting or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certificate. Can I use that as a prerequisite instead of a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) certificate?
No. Our LPN program requires a CNA certificate for entry into the program. The background and skills learned as a CNA in nursing facilities or acute care hospitals help best prepare prospective students for the program and nursing industry.

Why are there required prerequisites?
Our required prerequisites ensure students have a proper base understanding of key elements before they start the program. Ultimately, this will aid in student’s success in the program.

Additionally, the program prerequisites allow for students to seamlessly transfer from our LPN program to a Registered Nurse (RN) program.
