Upon completion of the program and passing the licensing examination, as an LPN you can enter the workforce as a competent,
skilled nurse. Practical nurses provide patient-side nursing care at the direction of physicians and/or registered nurses.
The practice of practical nursing is based on concepts from the physical, biological and behavioral sciences. Each state has
its own nurse practice act, so the scope of practice varies from state to state.
Our State Board of Nursing-approved program will prepare you to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical
Nurses, NCLEX.PN.
This program leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree and prepares students to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered
Nurses (NCLEX.RN). Graduates, who pass the NCLEX.RN, can enter the healthcare workforce as a confident, competent, professional entry level
registered nurse. The RN is highly skilled and educated and is prepared to function in the roles of provider of care, manager of care, and
contributing member of a healthcare team. While at the bedside, the RN is accountable for decisions that impact the healthcare outcomes for
the patient. The scope of the RN's practice is defined in individual state statutes.
Students in this program are enrolled in general education courses, nursing theory courses, and clinical practice. The nursing courses begin
with Foundations courses that introduce students to the practice of nursing, nursing theories, legal and ethical issues in nursing, and basic
concepts of patient care. Students then advance through nursing courses that include more complex concepts in patient care and specialty nursing
areas such as mental health, maternal-child nursing and care of pediatric patients.
As a respiratory therapist, you will assist physicians in the diagnosis and management of heart/lung deficiencies and abnormalities,

drowning victims, and patients suffering from asthma, bronchitis, coronary heart disease, emphysema and pneumonia.
In addition to the realistic laboratory environment Concorde provides, we also offer a hands-on working experience in various hospital
settings through clinical rotations.
Graduates of this program will be eligible to sit for the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) examination administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).
Our Advanced Respiratory Therapy program is designed for those of you who have passed the NBRC entry level exam. This program opens more doors within your profession. Some hospitals require the advanced credentials in order to work with neonates or in intensive care settings. By increasing knowledge in the field, you increase your chances of acquiring the better jobs.
