Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Health Professions requires all students to submit appropriate personal information

Please be informed that students who are admitted to any Lane Community College Division of Health Professions program must show evidence of meeting Health Profession Student Clinical Training Standards for the State of Oregon prior to placement in clinical courses and internships. The programs will provide provisionally accepted students with information related to submitting required documentation to a third party agent at mandatory orientation and/or through program correspondence. 

Students are advised that any flag on a drug and alcohol screen or criminal background check (e.g. positive results for narcotics, marijuana, alcohol and/or other illicit substances; any criminal history) may interfere with, or prevent, clinical placement and graduation. Students are responsible for all costs associated with meeting the Health Profession Student Clinical Training Standards.

Computer Literacy Expectations and Website Access

Nursing students are not required to have a personal computer or internet access at home. Lane has several computer labs that all Lane students may access. All students are required to have computer skills and have access to a computer, printer, and the internet. All papers and typed assignments must be completed using Microsoft Word. A free download of Office 365 is available to students using your myLanecc.edu address. It is strongly advised that you take advantage of this as it will give you access to PowerPoint and Excel as well. This will facilitate accessing voice over lessons using PowerPoint as needed. It is the responsibility of each student to seek instruction as needed for:

• Word processing
• E-mail - have an E-mail account, send and receive E-mails, send and receive E-mail attachments
• Internet – access and search nursing literature
• Students are responsible for the announcements posted on the class Moodle website. Students will be oriented to this in the Fall.

Minimum GPA requirement at graduation

Please be aware that you will be required to have a minimum 2.0 GPA at the time of graduation in order to graduate and receive your certificate or associate's degree from LCC. Please also be aware that only LCC courses count toward your final GPA.
