Career Training Objective

The Vocational Nursing program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for an entry-level licensed vocational nurse position in a medical office, clinic, health-maintenance organization (HMO), acute care hospital, long-term care facility or other health care setting.

Vocational nursing students develop knowledge and skills to provide direct care to patients/clients under the supervision of a physician, dentist or registered nurse (RN) in a variety of health care settings, such as hospitals, long-term convalescent care facilities, and home health agencies. Vocational nursing students learn direct patient care, assessment, diagnostic measurements and procedures and treatments. The combined academic and clinical training prepares vocational nursing students to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) for licensure as a practical/vocational nurse meeting the standards set by the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians. Those that pass qualify for entry-level employment as Licensed Vocational Nurses.

The training program is divided into terms approximately 13 weeks in length (20 weeks for evening/weekend). Each term is comprised of prescribed units of study that build upon each other. Students begin their training in Term 1 and progress sequentially through each term until all terms have been successfully completed. Completion of the Vocational Nursing program is acknowledged by the awarding of a diploma.
