The Practical Nursing program at Pulaski Technical College is accredited by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing. The Traditional Tract is an 11-month, traditional, full-time day program. The Nontraditional Tract is a 22-month, part-time evening/weekend program.
After graduation, students may apply to take the NCLEX for licensure as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Classroom instruction is supplemented with clinical experience in area hospitals.
A student must be at least 18 years old, a high school graduate, or have passed the GED test.
Students accepted into the Practical Nursing program are subject to a criminal background check at their own expense. Students with a positive background check may not be accepted to the program.
