Overview
Career outlook
Employers hire licensed practical nurses to provide basic patient care such as monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and assisting with daily needs under the supervision of registered nurses and physicians.
Getting in
What St Charles Community College asks for, taken from its own admissions page.
Practical Nursing Certificate (Dardenne Creek Campus) approved by the Missouri State Board of Nursing; separate Apply for Nursing Program form (Microsoft Forms) in addition to SCC admission. The nursing page and the catalog program page list only the course sequence; the Practical Nursing CA information sheet is a SharePoint PDF that would not download, so entrance exam, deadlines and pass rates could not be read. HESI is listed only for LPN to ADN bridge applicants.
Checked Oct 2026 on the school's site. Requirements change each cycle, so confirm before you apply.
