| Nursing Programs Work
Closely with Area University Hospitals |
Durham Tech’s highly regarded five-semester Associate Degree Nursing
(AND) program works hand in glove with local university hospitals for the
clinical portions of instruction. Students intern during both day and evening
rotations at Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina
Health Care System, and other health agencies.
The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) one-year program also has strong ties
with area university hospitals. Clinical rotations take place at Duke University
Medical Center, Durham Regional Hospital, and Lincoln Community Health Center.

| Licensed Practical Nurses Have Unique
Opportunity to Become Licensed Nurses |
Through a grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, Durham Tech
offers an evening Associate Degree Nursing program to licensed practical
nurses who want to move up the career ladder. In addition to the Reynolds
grant of $137,000, Durham Tech received grants of $100,000 from both Duke
University Health Care System and UNC Health Care System.
This began in 2004 with 24 licensed practical nurses admitted to the six-semester
program. The evening transition program enables LPNs to stretch out their
education over a longer timeframe as they juggle jobs and family responsibilities.
