Fast Track Vocational Nurse (VN)
Mission Statement

General Information
The Fast Track Vocational Nursing Program is designed to prepare students to function as members of the health care team under the direction of a licensed physician and/or a registered nurse in a variety of situations concerned with quality nursing care. Vocational nursing students learn to assist in data collection, plan and implement nursing care, administer medications and treatments with knowledge of their therapeutic results and maintain a safe environment for patients and their families.

Fifteen students are accepted into each VN class (with BVNPT approval). Applicants not accepted may apply for the next VN Program start. THERE IS NO WAITING LIST.
