Practical Nursing Applications Being Accepted
The Waynesville School of Practical Nursing is now accepting applications for the 2022-23 school year.
Waynesville School of Practical Nursing program is a full-time, 11-month, adult-only program located in the Waynesville Career Center that begins in August and finishes at the end of June. Once practical nursing students have passed all courses in the program, they will be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN exam and upon passing, will be a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
“Every year we take steps to better prepare our students for real-world nursing. During the last three years, we have had an NCLEX-PN pass rate of 100%,” said Audrey McDaniel, program coordinator for the practical nursing program. “Over the last six years our pass rate has exceeded 90%. Our students also have an excellent job placement rate, allowing them to work as LPNs and continue their education to become an RN and so on, giving them more financial freedom as they are continuing their education.”
There are two application deadlines this year. The early application deadline is March 11, 2022, with a TEAS (entrance exam) score of 58.7% or higher on file. The final application deadline is May 20, 2022, with a TEAS score of 58.7% on file. Prospective students are encouraged to apply early so they have plenty of time to study for the TEAS, and to secure their seat in our upcoming class.
