Nursing Programs

nursing student


Welcome to the
Los Medanos Nursing programs.

Mission of the LMC Nursing Department:

  • to provide quality education and individualized instruction to maximize each student’s potential.

  • foster a commitment to the profession of nursing

Since 1974, when LMC opened its doors, the Nursing Program and its Graduates have been highly regarded in the healthcare community.

We offer two Nursing Programs: The Vocational Nursing Program and the Registered Nursing Program, which includes an LVN to RN option.

The programs offer an integrated curriculum, which prepares the graduates for the challenges in today’s nursing.

Graduates completing the Registered Nursing Program will receive an Associate In Science Degree in Nursing and qualify to take the State Board Examination (NCLEX-RN) for Licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN).

The RN Program requires two academic years beyond completion of the prerequisite courses.

The LVN to RN Program requires successful completion of prerequisites and the third and fourth semesters of the RN Program.

Graduates completing the Vocational Nursing Program will receive a Certificate and qualify to take the State Board Examination (NCLEX-PN) for licensure as a vocational nurse (LVN). The Vocational Nursing Program requires three semesters.
