Program
Description
The Vocational Nursing Program requires three semesters of academic work and
clinical experience which meets the Basic Curriculum guidelines set forth in
Section 2533, Rules and Regulations of the Board of Vocational Nurse and Psychiatric
Technician.
These Guidelines are:
The Vocational Nursing Program shall include, but is not limited to, theory and
correlated clinical experience which develops the knowledge, skills and abilities
necessary to care for clients of all ages in current health care settings. The
curriculum content is taught in a sequence that results in student’s progressive
mastery of knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Philosophy and Objectives
The Vocational Nursing program abides by the general policies of Contra Costa
Community College District and supports the educational philosophy of Los Medanos
College.
Vocational Nursing is an integral and essential part of all nursing. The Vocational
Nursing program is a self-contained course of nursing education which draws identifiable
concepts from nursing and blends them into such an integrated whole of learning
experiences to produce an effective practitioner within the defined scope of
practice.
The vocational nurse is prepared to assume responsibility under the direction
of a registered nurse or physician when giving nursing care in simple situations
and assisting with nursing care in more complex nursing situations.
