Chicago, Illinois. Midwestern Career College is preparing to launch a new Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Certificate Program, designed to address the growing need for compassionate and highly skilled nurses across the Chicago metropolitan area. The forthcoming program reflects our ongoing commitment to helping students gain practical, career-focused healthcare education aligned with today’s evolving healthcare landscape.
The LPN curriculum will emphasize core nursing principles, patient safety, and community-based care—skills that meet the increasing demand for qualified practical nurses in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities throughout Illinois. Upon regulatory approval, the program will provide hands-on learning through simulation labs, clinical experiences, and direct partnerships with local healthcare providers.
“Nursing is at the heart of compassionate healthcare. Our upcoming LPN program will prepare students to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives and to meet the healthcare needs of our communities with skill and empathy.” — Jeremy Oberfeld, CEO of Midwestern Career College.
The college’s nursing initiative will build on MCC’s established reputation for excellence in allied health education, small class sizes, and a supportive learning environment. Faculty members with extensive clinical experience will guide students through foundational coursework and real-world patient care settings.
Additional details, including official program structure, admission information, and start dates, will be available once all state and regulatory approvals are finalized. Prospective students and community members are encouraged to check back for updates as MCC prepares to welcome its first cohort of future Licensed Practical Nurses.
