Nursing is a highly rewarding career that is also well-paid and in high demand. Along with taking vitals and giving medications nurses are called upon to be sources of comfort, helping people through their illness and pain. At LMC, our nursing program has been ACEN-accredited since 1981 and prepares you to become an RN in just two years.
After you pass your boards, you can get started in your career right away – while also earning your BSN degree. In fact, 41% of our 2016 graduates are already working on their BSN degree – and in many cases, their employers are paying for their continued education.
There are special admission requirements for the Nursing program. Acceptance into this program is competitive and based on a point system. Applicants are awarded points based on grades earned in program-specific prerequisite coursework. All accepted students are required to pass a criminal background check and drug screen prior to admission into the program. Contact Academic Advising at (269) 927-8128 or the Health Sciences office at (269) 927-8768 for complete details. An Academic Advisor will help you determine prerequisites that are required and designed to prepare you for training in the program.
