The Practical Nursing program is an Individualized Options program that
can be completed in 12 months; the student must attend a minimum of 30
hours per week. The program consists of 60% theory and 40% clinical
activities. Clinical rotations are the only portion of this course that

Licensed Practical Nursing. The potential student must complete the

Nursing program is accredited by the ODCTE and Oklahoma Board of
