Overview
Blue Hills Practical Nursing Program is a full-time, 40 - week, day program running from September through June each year. The class hours are Monday through Friday from 7:45 AM to 2:30 PM. Clinical hours may vary to accommodate clinical agency availability but usually begin at 7 AM.
We provide a rigorous educational experience of theory and clinical practice which prepares graduates to take the NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nursing). Our faculty provides an exceptional learning environment which gives our graduates an important advantage when seeking employment.
Once our graduates successfully complete the NCLEX licensing exam, they are ready for a satisfying, challenging nursing career in healthcare, and opportunities to continue their nursing education.
