Practical Nursing (LPN) Certificate Program
at Quincy College
Boston Catalog
The nursing curriculum of the Quincy College Certificate of Completion in Practical Nursing is based on sound educational principles and follows the mission, philosophy, and outcomes identified for the program. The curriculum design is a blend, of Nurse of the Future Competencies and a concept-based curriculum. The Nurse of the Future Competencies provide the overarching framework for the curriculum and serve as the major program concepts. Delivery of the curriculum is through an active learning environment that encourages individual student contributions as they learn and achieve. This requires faculty to be actively involved with students in the classroom through mutual respect, responsibility, and collaboration. The teaching skills needed to deliver the concept-based curriculum require consideration of the diverse student backgrounds and perspectives that are represented in our student body.
