LPN

Evening Licensed Practical Nurse, Diploma

STI’s LPN evening/weekend diploma program offers all of the required LPN coursework during the evenings and on Saturdays to accommodate those who have busy lives during the weekdays. The evening/weekend program begins summer 2007 and takes less than two years to complete! This program is a part-time program, and it does run through the summers. If you are interested in becoming an LPN, but can’t take courses during the weekday, the LPN evening/weekend program might be a great option for you!

All classes meet on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Clinicals meet on Saturday’s in local hospitals.

Clinical placement is determined only after the student has been observed safely and consistently performing all required procedures in specified time frames.

Background checks and drug screenings are required for this program. For more information please see Additional Program Requirements.
