The Vocational Nursing Program is a full-time, 40-week program in California designed to enable students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and competencies related to enhancing the health and well-being of individuals and families.

Duties within the scope of practice for a vocational nurse typically include, but are not limited to, provision of basic hygienic and nursing care; measurement of vital signs; basic client assessment; sample collection; monitoring client nutritional status; data collection, report and documentation; performance of prescribed medical treatments; administration of prescribed medications; and, performance of non-medicated intravenous therapy & blood withdrawal (requires separate Board certification). 

The program has classroom/theory instruction and required clinical experiences to prepare the student to become a safe and competent entry-level practitioner.
