Licensed Practical Nursing / Associate Degree Nursing Progression

You love a challenge. You are a hard worker. You strive to learn more every day. You enjoy being part of a team to find solutions and empower others to do the same. You feel empathy and gain satisfaction from helping those in need. If these are qualities you appreciate about yourself, consider the fact that these are also qualities found in successful healthcare professionals. You have found your calling. Owens School of Nursing and Health Professions has an established reputation of educating healthcare professionals who work in Northwest Ohio and beyond. Our approach of interprofessional education results in graduates who are well trained to practice collaboratively and provide patient-centered care to the members of our community.

This program is designed for Licensed Practical Nurses who will take nursing courses from a modified program of study that meets the needs of the LPN enrolled in the Licensed Practical Nurse/Associate Degree Nursing Progression Program, AAS (Owens Code: NRSL). The program prepares graduates for nursing positions in a variety of healthcare settings. The program combines studies at Owens Community College with planned and guided experience in client care in healthcare facilities and community agencies.

We are Owens Community College, a comprehensive community college established in 1965 to provide educational opportunities and training to the residents of our communities.

We offer over 70 academic programs and certificates to students who are preparing for a career, retraining for a new career, seeking professional development or obtaining credits to transfer to a four-year college or university - some while still in high school. Our dedicated and experienced faculty members bring their industry knowledge, information, and ideas into the classroom to allow you to gain a better understanding of how your studies will translate into your chosen career. With an average class size of 14 students, you will receive the personal attention you need to succeed.
