During the Practical Nursing program at Ross, we know that it's not only important, but necessary to get you out of the classroom and into real healthcare facilities, practicing your skills. That's why we include clinical experience that gets our students into a variety of clinics, nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and more to get real-world patient experience with other healthcare professionals.
After a student has successfully completed the Practical Nursing program at Ross, they must register for and pass the NCLEX-LPN in order to be a Licensed Practical Nurse and able to practice nursing in a healthcare facility.
Following my years after high school, coming to Ross was one of the best things I've chosen to do. I've learned a lot through my classmates and teachers.

I only had a little confidence in myself when I started at Ross. I thought it was almost impossible for me to learn after being out of school for so long. SURPRISE! The staff here at Ross had more faith in me than I did. Ross Medical doesn't treat you like a student, but as family. You can feel the love and care they have for each and every student. I would recommend Ross Medical to anyone. Come where learning is fun and exciting!
