Career Services
CSPN posts LPN job opportunities on Blackboard, Facebook, and in the student lounge as the school is notified by community clinical agencies. While CSPN does not directly place graduates into facilities as an LPN, it does offer resume and career support services through the Office of Student Services. Students wishing to learn more about LPN job opportunities in Northeast Ohio are encouraged to visit websites and/or apps like LinkedIn, Indeed, and NurseDash. Level IV students and graduates are encouraged to contact CSPN for support services.
If you are a current student and need help, reach out now.
If you are an enrolled student or applicant in need of substance abuse assessment/treatment, reach out to 211.

- Provide dressing changes and tracheostomy care
