Central Nursing College’s Vocational Nursing Program is the most intense program offered. Graduates will be prepared for a rewarding career in a dynamic, booming industry. This course is the next logical step up from the Certified Nurse Assistant class. The first few weeks of the VN course cover and review much of the CNA material. A career as a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) can range from different locations such hospitals and acute care facilities to clinics or as the Director of Staff Development. It is a very exciting time to be an LVN.
