LCCC Expands Nursing Classes to Include Summer Start
In response to a dramatic increase in the need for trained healthcare professionals in the region and a growing interest in training to be a nurse, Lehigh Carbon Community College is expanding admission into its Nursing Programs.
The Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program and the transitional Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) advanced placement will increase the annual number of entrance cohorts. The ADN program previously only admitted new students each fall, and will now offer admission in both fall and summer semesters. The transitional LPN to ADN process previously only admitted new students each summer, and will now offer admission in summer, fall and spring semesters.
Application periods are as follows:
Now through February 1, 2023, for
- Associate Degree Nursing program with the SDS 110: Introduction to Associate Degree Nursing
- LPN to Associate Degree Nursing program with SDS 111: Introduction to LPN to Associate Degree Nursing.
- Practical Nursing Certificate program with SDS 112: Introduction to Practical Nursing
Subsequent application periods for future entrance cohorts will run:
February 2-June 1, 2023, for fall 2023: Associate Degree Nursing, LPN to Associate Degree Nursing
June 2-October 1, 2023, for spring 2024: LPN to Associate Degree Nursing
October 2, 2023, through February 1, 2024, for summer 2024: Associate Degree Nursing, LPN to Associate Degree Nursing, Practical Nursing
The additional classes are designed to help alleviate the impact of the worst nursing shortage in history and will address the demand and need for nurses in the community.
