Nursing—Practical Nursing Certificate

Certificate: 49 Hours

The Practical Nursing program is fully approved by the Missouri State Board of Nursing. Graduates receive a certificate and are eligible to apply to write the NCLEX-PN exam to become licensed as a Practical Nurse. Graduates may go to work in long-term skilled care, home health care, doctors’ offices, hospice, hospitals and/or industrial nursing. This may also be used as a stepping stone to further one’s nursing education.

Students may take the “Program Specific Courses” only after they have been admitted into the program. A separate application process is required for acceptance into this program. Refer to the website, otc.edu/academicaffairs/465.php, or the application packet for admissions requirements. Complete application information can be obtained on the OTC web site or from the Allied Health office. A new class begins each fall and spring semester at the Springfield campus, each fall semester at the Table Rock campus, and each spring at the Lebanon center.
