Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) provide nursing care to clients with a variety of health needs. LPNs work in a variety of healthcare settings as they work under the direction of registered nurses, physician assistants, doctors, and dentists. MTECH’s LPN program prepares students to function as an entry- level nurse. In this program, students receive both classroom theory and practical clinical experience.
Students who complete the Practical Nursing program will receive a certificate of completion from MTECH, are prepared to take the NCLEX-PN exam, and are prepared to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Graduates have the opportunity to enter bridge programs where they can work towards becoming a registered nurse (RN)

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.
