Cape Coral Technical College’s LPN Program Regains Top Ranking in Florida

The School District of Lee County is excited to announce that the Practical Nursing program at Cape Coral Technical College has been ranked first in Florida for 2024 by PracticalNursing.org. The program was also ranked #1 in 2022.

“Cape Coral Tech was previously ranked #2 in 2023 by PracticalNursing.org, and we’re extremely proud to take over the top spot,” said Cape Coral Technical College Director Charlie Pease. “We’re grateful for the excellent instruction, professionalism, and wealth of industry experience and knowledge that our outstanding nursing faculty provide to make our Practical Nursing program consistently one of the best in the nation!”

Along with the Practical Nursing recognition, Cape Coral Tech is also ranked #1 in Florida by NursingProcess.org. Both organizations provide national guidance about healthcare programs and careers.

The Practical Nursing program at Cape Coral Tech takes 13 months and costs $7,776. Classes are small so they provide hands-on training and personal instruction. Students work directly with patients, physicians, and nurses in hospitals and other healthcare facilities and experience a variety of interactive simulation case scenarios. Graduates are eligible to apply to take the National Licensing Exam and may be eligible for advanced credit in the Nursing Associate Degree program at Florida Southwestern College or any Florida community college.

The next Full-Time Practical Nursing program starts May 6, 2024. All application requirements are due March 8, 2024. Classroom hours are 8:00 am to 2:30 pm Monday through Friday and the clinical time varies. Learn more about the program
