Labette Community College established its nursing program in 1968. Since that date, over 1500 nurses have graduated and taken the NCLEX-RN® exam to become registered nurses. 100% of LCC nursing graduates find employment in the field of nursing.  

The Labette Community College Nursing Education Program is a Bi-Level program, and is approved by the Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN) and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).

This program is designed for career mobility for the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to transition into the role of the Registered Nurse (RN). Graduates are prepared to take both the Practical Nurse Licensure Exam (NCLEX-PN®) and the Registered Nurse Licensure Exam (NCLEX-RN®). Under the Kansas Statewide Nursing Articulation Plan, LCC nursing graduates may also continue studies at colleges or universities in Kansas that offer bachelor's degrees in nursing.

Students interested in the Nursing Program can be admitted to the College on the same basis as other students, but admission to the College does not ensure admission into the Nursing Program. Acceptance into the Nursing Program is based on the criteria established by the department.

In January 2004, the dual-entry program was initiated. Forty freshmen are admitted every August, and thirty-five freshmen are admitted every January. The total capacity of the program is one-hundred and fifty-five students.
