After successful completion of the Nursing Assistant Program, students are eligible to sit for the State of Washington Nursing Assistant examination for State certification. Students receiving their certification will be eligible to apply for employment in a long term care nursing facility, hospital, or community health agency.

LPN PROGRAM

North Seattle Community College's Practical Nursing Program provides training directed toward immediate employment and future advancement with hospitals, medical offices, clinics, nursing homes and home health care agencies.
