The Kauai Community College Nursing Program is built around the career ladder concept.  The faculty believe that ALL levels of nursing are important and contribute to the health care system in diverse and meaningful ways.  The faculty also believe that our diverse student population requires many user-friendly entry and exit points in pursuing a nursing career and that  there should be academic and career recognition and opportunity at each level.  Accordingly, the faculty is committed to providing an educational system that meets these goals through a career ladder that first prepares the student for LPN licensure, then RN licensure, and finally provides easy transfer into BS education and beyond.

The Kaua'i Community College Nursing Program is fully accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).
