What You'll Learn

Fortis College in Centerville provides the following practical nurse training:

PRACTICAL NURSING (PN)

The Fortis nursing curriculum provides the knowledge and skills to prepare students to sit for the NCLEX licensure exam and pursue a career as an entry-level practical nurse in a variety of clinical and hospital settings upon passing their licensure exam after graduation.

This is a hybrid program, which means that the majority of the program is taken at the campus and several courses within the program (less than 50% of the program) are taken online. The program’s blend of on-campus and online courses allows students to experience all the support and services our school has to offer as well the flexibility and convenience of online classes.*

Carrie F, Practical Nursing

I chose Fortis because it felt like home to me.  Ever since I walked through the doors they were great in human resources, great with financial aid; it was just the whole entity of the entire program and then once I walked through the doors of the nursing program it literally just felt like home and it’s where I wanted to be.

The programs they offer integrate the talent, knowledge, and skills of top-quality instructors, as well as, a diverse group of highly motivated students who are preparing for rewarding careers. Thanks to Fortis College, I now have the “real world” experience necessary to lead a successful career! I am a practical nursing graduate holding down two LPN jobs now and back in school with Fortis to complete my Associates of Registered Nursing.

Ruth W, Practical Nursing 

I attended the Fortis College in Norfolk and received my LPN certification and returned for my RN degree. What brought me back for RN was the quality of the instructors. My schedule was hectic during the day at that time, they had night courses so I was taking the evening LPN courses and that worked really, really well for me.
