Western Iowa Tech Community College Nursing Programs are fully approved at the state level by the Iowa Board of Nursing and at the federal level by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. Graduates are eligible to write licensure exams and to work in all 50 states.

The nursing programs follow a 1+1 progression where the student can graduate with a diploma or a degree. The Practical Nursing Program is the diploma option (first 1). Graduates are eligible to write the National Council Licensing Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN). The student may choose to finish their education at this point or continue (second 1) for an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). The ADN Completion Program is also an opportunity for the experienced licensed practical nurse (LPN) to continue their education to become eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Both programs have support courses and clinical requirements and are also available in an online format. Students have an option to enroll on a full-time or part-time basis. For further information on these health care careers, contact one of the nursing program advisors listed below.

The nursing profession offers a wide variety of opportunities and specialties. Nurses should be caring, sympathetic, responsible, and detail oriented individuals. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall job opportunities for nurses are expected to be excellent, with employment of nurses expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2016. Because the occupation is very large, many new job openings resulting from the need to replace experienced nurses leaving the occupation.
