Practical Nursing
The Practical Nursing curriculum prepares individuals with the knowledge and skills to provide nursing care to children and adults. Students will participate in assessment, planning, implementing, and evaluating nursing care.
Graduates are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) which is required for practice as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Employment opportunities include hospitals, rehabilitation/long term care/home health facilities, clinics, and physicians’ offices.

* Practical Nursing Program applications are only available at one of the Nursing Information Sessions.
Students seeking information about the nursing program should begin by reviewing the Nursing Information Packet, paying special attention to deadlines. Readmission and transfer students should review the Nursing program section of the College Catalog. Students wishing to proceed with the application process should then complete the ECC College Application, attend the next available New Student Orientation, and attend a Nursing Information Session. If Information Sessions are not being held, or if you have additional information after reviewing the Nursing Information Packet, contact Mrs. Susan Roberson, Nursing Admission Counselor. New students should schedule an appointment with Mrs. Roberson to register for first semester classes. To register for classes in subsequent semesters, pre-nursing students should schedule an appointment with their nursing faculty advisor during Early Registration by sending an email to eccnsgadvise@edgecombe.edu or by calling Michelle Owens at 252-823-5166 ext. 278.
