Course Descriptions:
Practical Nursing - Level 1 practical nursing is a two-part, full year course. Eligible students enroll in both the fall and spring semesters; Practical Nursing 1 for the fall semester and Practical Nursing 2 for the spring semester. This full-year, Level 1 course, offers preclinical nursing instruction during the student's senior year of high school. Foundations of nursing including communication, anatomy and physiology, and medical mathematics, are the main units of focus. Competency-based instruction provides students with the skills needed to provide basic bedside nursing care used for hospitalized, nursing home, and homebound patients. Following the successful completion of Practical Nursing 1 and 2 (Level 1), students electing to participate in the summer clinical are eligible to take the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) exam. Classes are held at Falls Church Academy while community healthcare agencies serve as sites for the practical application of the learned competencies. Uniforms and insurance must be purchased for this class and current health, immunization records and other health-care agency requirements are necessary for clinical participation. Successful completion of the Practical Nursing 1 and 2 course (Level 1) allows students to take a nine-month full-time postgraduate clinical internship program (Level 2). The Level 2 postgraduate clinical internship curriculum enables students to demonstrate advanced nursing competencies as well as gain the knowledge required for state licensure as a licensed practical nurse (LPN).
