Practical Nursing Pathway
Practical Nursing prepares students at the pre-professional level for service disciplines related to medicine, nursing, and allied health careers. Course competencies are based on industry qualifications, certifications, and licensure requirements.
Students in grades 9 through 11 who are interested in the Practical Nursing Program are encouraged to take the Introduction to Health and Medical Science and Medical Terminology courses at their base school.
Practical Nursing 1 and 2 are senior level courses taught at Osbourn Park High School, with clinical experiences at local hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. The 18-month program begins in the senior year of high school. Tuition is charged for the second year of the program.
Students are admitted to the program by application which may include an interview and testing. Applications must be completed during course registration the year prior to program entry.
