A licensed vocational nurse (LVN) works under the supervision and direction of registered nurses and doctors to administer basic nursing care. LVNs may work in hospitals, long-term care facilities, hospice or home residential care facilities.

Our program helps students acquire important nursing knowledge and skills that prepare them for a career in healthcare. Once students have completed the program, they can take the NCLEX-PN exam to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN).

Program Overview

Our vocational nursing program provides a comprehensive educational journey, merging classroom lectures, simulation lab activities, and clinical training within a supportive learning environment.

Students will receive clinical training in various patient care settings, including hospitals, out-patient clinics, and long-term care facilities. These rotations will cover adult, pediatrics, geriatrics, maternity, and sub-acute care.

Students may request transfer credit for up to 150 hours of prior coursework, subject to review and approval by the school. Transfer credit is based on official transcripts only. Eligible coursework must reflect a grade of C or higher in all prerequisite courses, a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0, and content equivalent in scope and instructional hours to courses offered at The Nurse Academy.

Credits are awarded at the Program Director’s discretion and are contingent upon successful course completion. All transfer credit requests must be submitted within the first seven weeks of the program.
