The health care industry continues to add jobs at a rate that outpaces every other occupation. If you are looking for rewarding work, consider a health care position. There are health care occupation choices to match a variety of individual interests and lifestyles, and best of all — you have a career for a lifetime.

To help ensure that our students are prepared, many of our health professions programs use a selective/special admission process to admit students. Please note that applicants must complete the selective/special admission process in addition to the LLCC enrollment steps for earning a credit degree or certificate

Nursing programs

Step 1: 

Carefully review the admission checklist for your program of interest: ADNPCN (LPN), and LPN to ADN Transition.

Step 2: 

Schedule an appointment with a nursing student success coach to map out your plan! The nursing student success coaches are happy to assist you in working toward your educational goals. To ensure students stay on the right path towards meeting their goals, we require all potential  applicants to meet with a nursing student success coach. Your student success coach will review with you in detail the admission requirements for your program of interest. In addition, once you have completed all of the program admission requirements, your student success coach will also provide you with the designated program application. Please note that the nursing success coaches are only available at the main campus is Springfield.
