Licensed Practical Nursing Program
Introduction
Welcome to Bainbridge College Licensed Practical Nursing Program website. Our
program is dedicated to the purpose of meeting the health care needs of the community
facilities and residents in our service area by preparing qualified applicants with
the ability to pass the licensure examination. All graduates of the program will
be theoretically, clinically, ethically, and legally safe entry-level practitioners
of licensed practical nursing. The Bainbridge College LPN program curriculum is
offered in a sequence that encourages a gradual increase in difficulty level and
increased critical thinking skills by the student. The theory and clinical courses
are aligned to reiterate the student learning experience through cognitive, psychomotor,
and affective learning strategies. The students must satisfy learning outcomes and
program benchmarks for safe entry-level nursing, and demonstrate competency on the
exit exam requirement before graduation from the LPN Program.
Philosophy
Bainbridge College is an evolving institution dedicated to providing a superior
learning environment to a diverse student population including many ages and socioeconomic
backgrounds. Bainbridge College places primary emphasis on excellence in instruction
and provides continuous improvement to administrative processes and the education
delivery system. The Practical Nursing Program has established collaborative relationships
with local health care providers willing to commit to a partnership by welcoming
the opportunity for our students to experience externships, internships, clinical
rotations and practicum at their facilities. Healthcare education is a highly regulated
industry and the LPN Program strives to comply with complex and changing rules,
regulations and guidelines. This health care team approach offers refinement of
program assessment strategies that provide reliable feedback on institutional effectiveness
and educational outcomes to make the nursing student education successful.
