Herkimer BOCES Adult Practical Nursing Program

Herkimer BOCES Adult Practical Nursing Program Herkimer BOCES offers three options for LPN training: A one year full-time day class, a two year part-time day class, and a two year part time evening class

At Herkimer BOCES, we have a long tradition of training practical nurses for the Mohawk Valley. We realize our graduates come from diverse backgrounds and ages and have adapted our programming to be reflective of those needs. Some come with no health care experience and are in need of training. Others are building upon existing nursing skills. One thing all our students hold in common is a desire to continue their education and provide a brighter future for themselves and their families. Our goal is threefold:

First, to give the student the knowledge and practical skills to enter the healthcare field and pass the PN NCLEX exam. Second, to develop professional skills that will enable them to obtain and retain sound employment in the healthcare field. Finally, we take great efforts to teach our students how to be good students. In doing this, we not only assist them in succeeding here, but it opens educational opportunities for a lifetime. Our graduates can be found in area clinics, home care, physicians' offices, extended care facilities and acute care facilities. Many have continued on in their educational experiences. We invite you to consider our program and have developed this website to answer many of your questions. We offer a full-time class, part-time class during the day and a part-time class during the evening. For information, visit http://lpn.herkimerboces.schoolfusion.us

Congratulations to this Herkimer BOCES LPN graduate!

Congratulations to Billie Aiello, LPN at Bassett's Convenient Care clinic in Herkimer! Billie was recently honored with the DAISY Award for her outstanding patient care. Here is what a patient had to say:

"Anytime I bring myself or a sick child to the office, Billie is nothing but exceptional. She shows compassion, empathy, and top-notch patient care. What truly sets Billie apart is her obvious unwavering dedication to nursing excellence. She is honestly just a kind-hearted person and exceptionally deserving of this Daisy Award.”

Congratulations, Billie! Thank you for your skill and dedication every day!
