About

Laramie County Community College (LCCC) offers a wide range of nursing education options to meet the needs of its students. The college's Department of Nursing offers Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) programs, which provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to become competent, entry-level nurses. In addition to the ASN degree, the college also offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program for those who wish to pursue a higher level of nursing education. At the ASN level, students have the option of completing their degree in one of two specializations: Practical Nursing or Professional Nursing. The Practical Nursing program prepares graduates to work as Licensed Practical Nurses or Licensed Vocational Nurses, while the Professional Nursing program prepares them to work as Registered Nurses. Coursework includes topics such as anatomy and physiology, health assessment, pharmacology, psychology, medical-surgical nursing, obstetrics and pediatrics, and nutrition. For those seeking a BSN degree, the Department of Nursing provides the RN to BSN program. This program enables students who already hold an associate degree in nursing to finish a BSN in 12 months. Courses cover areas such as advanced medical-surgical nursing, mental health nursing, evidence-based practice, community health nursing, leadership, and nursing research. In addition to the academic courses, LCCC also offers various preparation classes for professional certifications and licensures, such as the NCLEX-RN exam, Advanced Practice Nurse licensure, and specialized certifications in areas such as gerontology, pediatric nursing, and emergency nursing. These classes allow students to gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in their chosen field. At LCCC, nursing education is designed to prepare students for success both in their studies and their careers. With flexible course delivery and knowledgeable faculty, LCCC provides a strong foundation in nursing education for its students.
