Waynesville School of Practical Nursing

Welcome the the Waynesville School of Practical Nursing!

The Waynesville School of Practical Nursing is located at 400 G.W. Lane in Waynesville, Missouri. It is affiliated with the Waynesville Career Center. The Nursing Program offers a Diploma in Practical Nursing. The parent institution, Waynesville R-VI, is a public education organization. We are fully approved by the Missouri State board of Nursing (MSBON) and accredited by the North Central Association Accreditation.

The Waynesville School of Practical Nursing was established in 1973. The first class graduated 18 students in 1974. As of 2004, we are approved to accept 36 students a year. The program begins each August and is completed 11 months later (July of the following year). After successfully completing the program, the student may sit for the NCLEX-PN Examination. Once the student passes this examination, he/she will become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).

Our goal at the Waynesville School of Practical Nursing is to prepare individuals to provide intelligent, skillful nursing care in the areas of health that are available to practical nurses.  The program is based on the premise that all patients are unique individuals who are worthy of being treated in a professional and holistic manner.
