Are you ready to join the nursing workforce and have a rewarding career in the healthcare industry? If the answer is yes, then you may choose the fastest route to your destination: become a licensed practical nurse.

The first step is to submit an application for enrollment to the Essex Community College and once accepted to start completing prerequisite course work.

Some of the courses which are required prior to starting the licensed practical nurse program include anatomy and physiology, psychology as well as basic English and math. If you already have college credits for these courses then you are ready to take the Nursing Entrance Exam which is mandatory for nursing students.
