Upon completion of the 42 semester hour program, students are awarded a Certificate of Completion and are eligible to take the state board examination administered by the Board of Vocational Nurse Examiners. The vocational nursing program begins every year in August and is a 12 month, continuous program. All prospective students are required to take and pass an admission test and meet the admission criteria. In addition, all applicants should be free of illegal drug use, have no felony convictions, and be clear of any misdemeanor convictions, other than minor traffic violation. Financial need, scholastic achievement, attendance and attitude are some of the areas examined by the WC scholarship committee when awarding scholarship money.
Financial aid is also available to vocational nursing students.
