LPN Schools in Delaware — The Christiana Care Pipeline

Delaware is small enough to drive across in two hours — which means every LPN school in the state feeds into the same healthcare system: Christiana Care. Delaware Tech runs the primary LPN program, and its clinical partnership with Christiana Care creates a direct hiring pipeline. Graduate from Delaware Tech, get hired by Christiana Care. Add NLC compact membership (your license works in neighboring PA, MD, and NJ) and Delaware becomes a surprisingly strategic place to start your nursing career.
