Additional Program Requirements
Completion of a background check and drug screen are required before program classes start.
Students must have a CNA certificate to enroll in the LPN program. This course may be taken for credit if prior certification is not complete.
This program requires additional immunizations. Please refer to the Healthcare Programs Handbook for additional details. Many of the Southeast Technical College health programs require students to complete
clinical or preceptor hours working at an approved medical facility (the “Facility”)
under the direction of either a Southeast Technical College faculty member or licensed
medical staff of the Facility. The Facilities are all independent institutions. Each
Facility establishes the requirements for students to participate in either a clinical
or a preceptor rotation at the Facility. To provide clinical/preceptor opportunities
for students, Southeast Technical College must comply with the Facilities' requirements
and provide proof of adherence to Facility requirements.
Facilities require students to obtain certain vaccinations, including but not limited
to influenza and COVID-19, before entering the Facility and participating in a clinical
or preceptor rotation. Therefore, Southeast Technical College must obtain and have
on file proof of the required vaccinations before a student is assigned to attend
a clinical or preceptor rotation.
The Facilities allow students a medical exemption from the various vaccination requirements
to enter the Facility and participate in their clinical or preceptor rotation.
Students in need of an exemption from any vaccination(s) requirements due to a medical
reason or because of a sincerely held religious belief must submit a completed Request
for Accommodation form via the myTech website as soon as possible after vaccination
deadlines have been announced. Accommodations will be granted where they do not cause
undue hardship or pose a direct threat to the health and safety of others. Approval
is not guaranteed.
Individuals with an approved exemption will be required to comply with other preventative
requirements as specified in the exemption approval and as may be updated by later
notification and/or posting of requirements.
Decisions are final and not subject to appeal.
Uniforms are required for this program and are available through Sparkle Uniforms.

Applicants must complete and return an LPN Prerequisite Form before admittance into the program.
CPR Certification: Students are required to provide proof of current American Heart Association CPR Certification before LPN coursework begins. At AAR and JumpStart, the program faculty representative will discuss this in detail. Southeast Tech does offer this training, if needed. To view the schedule, visit the Testing page on myTech.
