The accredited program will prepare you to care for patients in a variety of health care settings, such as hospitals, convalescent centers, clinics, home care and physicians’ offices. Graduates are eligible to apply to take the NCLEX-PN to become a licensed practical nurse.

"Ivy Tech has given me the opportunity to do what I most desired and that is to help people who need someone to listen and take care of their health care needs. I believe that I would not be where I am today had it not been for Ivy Tech."
