Jersey College has a holistic approach to the nursing education process.

These principles provide the structure framework and foundation for the nursing curriculum. The primary building block for the Practical Nursing curriculum is the holistic nursing model.
A sample education plan and course descriptions are available below.
The LPN Program includes both academic classroom work and clinical education in our training labs and with our offsite practicum partners. The program follows a Humanistic model, recognizing that every person is uniquely composed and more than a sum of their parts.
