Becoming a licensed practical nurse (LPN) is a career that offers many opportunities to pursue different paths and advancement options. LPNs generally work under the supervision of registered nurses and care for the ill, injured, convalescent and disabled. Lincoln Land Community College’s practical nurse program includes classroom, lab and clinical experience to prepare students to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurse (NCLEX-PN).

This program starts in the fall. LLCC’s LPN classes are offered at both the Jacksonville and Hillsboro outreach centers.

Applications for the LPN program are accepted the first Monday in November at 8 a.m. through the last Thursday in May at 4 p.m.

To help ensure that students are successful, our LPN program uses a selective admission process. Please note that applicants must complete this selective admission process in addition to the LLCC general enrollment steps. To prepare for applying to the program, please follow the LPN application steps.

If you have questions regarding program admission requirements or how to apply, please call LLCC Student Success at 217-786-2224 and request to speak with a nursing student success advisor.
