Metro is partnering with Baptist Health College Little Rock , part of the Baptist Health system, to launch a Practical Nursing (LPN) pathway. Selected students will start Summer 2024.
The State Board of Nursing has approved the program. Pending approval from the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), the Practical Nursing pathway will be open to rising juniors and seniors and will include rigorous coursework and clinical work that prepares students to pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) and be prepared to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) upon graduating or continue their education to advance to higher nursing degree.
