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.
