This program does not have a waitlist. Students are admitted through a petition process. Please read all information through the links on the right.
A criterion considered in the petition process is verification of student residency. As directed by TCS 10, students selected via the petition process are chosen based on MATC district residency, then Wisconsin non-district residency, followed by non-residents, unless otherwise articulated.
Note: Assistance with petition packet paperwork will not be provided once petition windows have opened. |

A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) monitors patients, administers medications, and assists the attending physician and registered nurses. The MATC Practical Nursing curriculum features hands-on practice in the college's well-equipped nursing lab, and supervised patient care in various health facilities. This program is flexible; it may be taken on a part-time basis and runs just two semesters and six weeks in length. LPNs are in very high demand due to the current nursing shortage. Core skills include the ability to work under stress and a sincere concern for people. Expect to do some lifting. Upon graduation, you may take the PN licensure exam.
