The Practical Nursing Program at Community College of Denver offers a comprehensive educational program that blends theoretical perspectives with professional practice. It provides students with the skills they need to care for the physical needs of patients while promoting their health, healing, and wellness. As a practical nurse (PN), you will have access to varying employment opportunities:

• In long-term care facilities, the PN is often the team leader providing care to multiple residents.
• In outpatient clinic settings, the PN works in collaboration with doctors in treating and educating patients.
• In-home healthcare settings, the autonomous PN provides in-home care to patients ranging in age from pediatric to geriatric.
• In hospitals, PNs provide routine care in many different departments with varying duties.
