Beginning in the 2017 spring semester, Ivy Tech Community College Northeast will offer practical nursing classes at its Wabash Campus. Interested individuals are invited to schedule a meeting with Jewel Diller, the College’s nursing dean, before the Sept. 1 application deadline.

To meet with Diller, prospective practical nursing and pre-nursing students can visit the Wabash Campus (277 N. Thorne St. in Wabash) from 4 to 6 p.m. July 19. They can contact her at jdiller@ivytech.edu or 260-480-4275. Drop-ins are also welcome.

Students who study Practical Nursing at Ivy Tech Northeast study to become a licensed practical nurse. They can earn a technical certificate in practical nursing on their way to receiving their associate of applied science degree. Practical nursing graduates are eligible to apply for the NCLEX-PN, or the National Council Licensure Examination for Licensed Practical Nurses. Practical Nursing is a selective program, and students are accepted based on the number of students who apply each year and a separate application process.
