The Diploma in Practical Nursing is a foundational healthcare program that prepares students to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs), depending on the country. The course provides both theoretical knowledge and clinical training in basic nursing care, enabling students to support doctors and registered nurses (RNs) in various healthcare settings.
Practical nurses play a crucial role in the healthcare system by delivering hands-on care to patients, often in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home health environments.
