Labette Community College established its nursing program in 1968. Since that date, almost 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.  

LCC offers 2 types of programs for people wanting to enter the field of nursing: PN and ADN. After completion of the first year of the curriculum, graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-PN® to become Licensed Practical Nurses. Upon completion of the second year of the program, graduates will receive the Associate in Applied Science degree and can take the NCLEX-RN® to be Registered Nurses. Practical nurses are employed primarily in long-term care, but RN's can practice anywhere. Students who have completed a practical nursing program can apply for admission into Level II of the LCC program. Admission into the LCC nursing program is by selection.

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, including both freshmen and sophomores is one-hundred and fifty students.

100% of the LCC graduates are placed in nursing jobs.
