The Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) is a caregiver in acute and extended care facilities. In addition, LVNs are employed in home health care, emergency clinics and as reviewers of health care utilization. The Vocational Nursing (VN) program is accredited by the State of California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technician Examiners (BVNPT). The VN program is three semesters in length and begins each fall and spring semester. The program consists of lecture and laboratory instruction in actual nursing situations. Applicants with a record of any felony are subject to review by the Board of Vocational Nurse and Psychiatric Technician Examiners (BVNPT) before a license can be granted. Contact the BVNPT prior to submitting an application to the VN program to clarify eligibility for licensure.
