Growing Our Own Clinical Pipeline, From The Inside Out

The Trilogy School of Nursing has launched a customized Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) pathway created specifically for Trilogy employees who demonstrate passion, commitment, and a calling to care for others. Through a partnership with a trusted academic partner, Trilogy combines high-quality nursing education with real-world clinical experience and workforce development support to create a truly unique learning model. 

This innovative program blends:

• Instructor-led virtual learning
• In-person skills and simulation experiences
• Advanced simulation lab training
• Hands-on clinical experiences within Trilogy campuses
• Structured work-based learning and mentorship

The State Board of Nursing approved training program spans approximately 48 weeks and is intentionally designed around the realities of long-term care nursing — allowing students to learn in the environment where they will ultimately practice and lead. 

Upon successful completion of the academic coursework, simulation requirements, and clinical experiences, graduates become eligible to sit for licensure with their practicing state Board of Nursing. 

At Trilogy, we believe some of the most compassionate and talented future nurses are already serving within our campuses today. Many individuals have the heart, work ethic, and leadership potential to become exceptional nurses, but may never have had the opportunity, resources, or support to pursue nursing school independently. 

The Trilogy School of Nursing was built to change that. 

By partnering with a trusted academic institution and combining education with hands-on workforce experience, Trilogy established an accessible pathway for employees to pursue nursing while remaining connected to their work, mentors, and communities. 

This program reflects our commitment to:

• Growing our own clinical talent
• Investing in employees already committed to Trilogy’s mission
• Creating meaningful career advancement opportunities
• Strengthening the long-term care workforce from within
• Elevating resident care through consistent, Trilogy-grown clinical communities

By blending academic education with real-world work-based learning, students can immediately connect classroom concepts to resident care experiences while remaining deeply connected to the Trilogy culture and mission.

Because this program represents a significant investment in our people and future workforce, applicants must demonstrate strong commitment, professionalism, and readiness for the rigor of nursing education. 

Eligible applicants must: 

• Be a current full-time or part-time Trilogy employee  
• Have at least one year of employment with Trilogy  
• Be in good standing within their campus and role  
• Maintain appropriate attendance and performance standards  
• Be current with all required regulatory and compliance training  
• Submit a supervisor letter of recommendation  
• Submit a personal letter of intent outlining their interest and commitment to nursing  
• Meet the Board of Nursing admission and licensure requirements  

Applicants selected for the program are recognized as high-performing team members who embody Trilogy’s values and commitment to compassionate care. 

Unlike traditional nursing programs, the Trilogy School of Nursing creates a fully integrated learning experience where students learn with Trilogy, through Trilogy, and for Trilogy. 

Clinical experiences occur within Trilogy campuses, allowing students to: 

• Develop confidence in long-term care nursing  
• Learn directly from experienced Trilogy clinical leaders  
• Build meaningful relationships with residents and interdisciplinary teams  
• Gain exposure to real-world clinical decision-making in supportive environments  
• Transition more seamlessly into licensed nursing practice after graduation  

This model allows us to cultivate nurses who not only possess strong clinical knowledge but also deeply understand Trilogy’s culture, standards, and commitment to exceptional resident care. 

The Trilogy School of Nursing is an employer-sponsored educational pathway, representing a significant investment in each selected student. In partnership with our academic provider, Trilogy supports students through both their educational and workplace learning journey to help ensure long-term success. 

In return, accepted students commit to a post-graduation work agreement designed to support long-term workforce development and continued growth within Trilogy. 

This partnership approach allows Trilogy to continue building sustainable nursing pipelines while creating life-changing career opportunities for our employees. 

The Trilogy School of Nursing is not just a nursing program; it is a strategic initiative focused on workforce development, built on compassion, opportunity, and community impact. While many are waiting for a solution to the ongoing nursing shortages, Trilogy is taking a proactive approach to stay ahead in the industry. 

By lifting others, investing in our people, partnering with trusted educators, and growing our own future nurses, Trilogy is helping shape the next generation of long-term care leaders — one dream, one student, one graduate nurse, at a time.
