Practical Nursing Program

Train for immediate career opportunities at the only hospital-based Practical Nurse (PN) program in the state of Connecticut! Griffin Hospital is at the forefront of re-integrating PNs into acute care settings to provide critically needed patient care support due to shortages in Registered Nurses across the country. Our innovative program combines virtual and in-person classes for greater flexibility and a condensed 14-month schedule. Graduates will be ready to start in acute care settings after receiving invaluable hands-on training and confidence with skills labs, state-of-the-art simulations, and the state’s only real-world clinical rotations in a hospital-based inpatient nursing unit. 

Additionally, students can train and receive a Planetree Fellowship in Person-Centered Care certification to bolster their resumes with demonstrated knowledge, experience, and leadership in person-centered care.
