Vocational nursing students learn direct patient care, assessment, diagnostic <br />measurements and procedures and treatments. The combined academic and clinical training prepares vocational nursing <br />students to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) for licensure as a practical/vocational nurse meeting <br />the standards set by the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians. Those that pass qualify for entry-level <br />employment as Licensed Vocational Nurses. <br />The training program is divided into terms approximately 13 weeks in length (20 weeks for evening/weekend). Each term is <br />comprised of prescribed units of study that build upon each other. Students begin their training in Term 1 and progress <br />sequentially through each term until all terms have been successfully completed. Completion of the Vocational Nursing <br />program is acknowledged by the awarding of a diploma. <br />Instructional Equipment <br />• Anatomy Charts • Wheelchair/ Walker <br />• Glucometers • Anatomical Models <br />• Medication Carts • Hospital Beds with Overbed and Side Tables <br />• Procedure Kits • Procedural Anatomical Mannequins <br />• Skeleton • Scale <br />• Stethoscopes • Sphygmomanometers <br />Published: October 2, 2020 <br />
