S ummit's Vocational Nursing program is a leader in the health occupation educational field. We believe in teaching the totality of the human being related to the wellness-illness continuum. Students are accountable for their participation in the learning experience. The Vocational Nursing Program's curriculum is one year in length and built upon a foundation of biological and physical sciences using the theoretical framework of Dorothea Orem. The curriculum includes theory coordinated with related clinical experience in the nursing care of patients as defined in the California Nursing Act.
Nursing requires dynamic, innovative, flexible, and committed individuals.
