Nursing programs at Academy of Allied Health Careers
Federal completion data shows nursing credentials awarded at the practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma level. In the most recent reporting year, the school reported about 46 practical nursing completers. A practical nursing credential is the shortest route to licensed work; our LPN vs. RN guide covers how it differs from the registered nurse path. That is a relatively small annual graduating class, so ask how many seats open each year.

Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, so ask the admissions office how applicants are evaluated. Admission to the nursing major or program is often a separate, competitive step with prerequisites, minimum grades, and capped enrollment. Check deadlines with the nursing department, and read our nursing school requirements guide to prepare. Licensure runs through the state board of nursing in Tennessee, and graduates sit for the NCLEX. Confirm that the specific program holds ACEN or CCNE accreditation and is approved by the state before you enroll. Compare other schools on our nursing schools in Tennessee page.
