Trocaire College has been educating compassionate, knowledgeable and devoted nurses to serve the greater Buffalo community for more than 50 years. Our nursing students are grounded in Mercy traditions and armed with real-world clinical experiences at hospitals and healthcare facilities all over Buffalo, where they learn how to apply their hands-on laboratory skills and complex classroom fundamentals to situations they’ll face every day as they help heal Western New Yorkers. Nursing is a calling, and backed by their challenging, comprehensive and engaging Trocaire educations received in the Catherine McAuley School of Nursing, our students are empowered to answer that calling and find careers where they make a difference every single day.
Our Certificate in Practical Nursing prepares students to work as an integral part of a healthcare team in just 18 months. LPNS perform a variety of tasks and responsibilities within the framework of case finding, health teaching, and health counseling, and support patient care under the supervision of registered nurses and/or physicians. They are often employed in settings such as long-term care and rehab facilities, physician’s offices or home health care.
