COURSE DESCRIPTION

The North Orange County ROP is proud to offer training to become a licensed vocational nurse. A Vocational Nursing certificate provides you with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse. VNs must pass their state license exam to become licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) to work in the field and work under the direct supervision of a registered nurse, doctor or dentist.  Licensed vocational nurses provide emotional support for patients, and may work in acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, or residential care facilities. Some tasks performed by an LVN can include checking blood pressure, performing wound care, administer artificial feedings, help bathe and/or dress patients, helping to deliver, care for, and feed patients of all ages, administer medication, collect samples for diagnostic testing, and much more. To be successful, LVNs must be compassionate and caring individuals. With a certificate in Vocational Nursing from North Orange County ROP, you will be well prepared to take your state licensure exam and enter the workforce as an LVN.
