WBAMC graduates new LVNs
Spc. Lisa Ruiz, a graduate of William Beaumont Army Medical Center's Practical Nurse Course, and other Soldiers light candles as symbols of care and devotion to the sick and injured in the practice of nursing during Class 15-003's graduation ceremony at Hope Chapel, Fort Bliss, Feb. 2. The 59-week Practical Nurse Course prepares Soldiers to provide first-line trauma care on the battlefield, perform as members of forward surgical teams, and function in expanded and support roles in combat support hospitals and fixed medical facilities. The course is accredited through Texas State Board of Nurse Examiners qualifying graduates to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) and earn credentialing as Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs).
