Owens Nursing Program Graduates 9 from PN Certificate Program

Owens Community College awarded nine students their certifications from the Practical Nurse program Tuesday during a ceremony at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts theatre.

These Owens graduates will take their NCLEX-PN examination and upon completion begin working in local healthcare facilities as licensed practical nurses.

“This class is strong in their skills and ready to take care of patients as LPNs,” said Irene Jones, assistant dean of the Owens nursing program.

Besides the Practical Nurse Certificate, the Owens Department of Nursing also offers the Registered Nurse Program, the LPN/Associate Degree Nursing Progression Program and the Nurse Assistant Training/Home Health Aide Certificate.
