Victoria College Opens Applications for Local Vocational Nursing Program 2025

Victoria College is now accepting applications for its annual Vocational Nursing Program, set to start in January 2025. The program, available in Victoria, Gonzales, and Hallettsville, trains students to become licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) in one year. Graduates earn a Vocational Nursing Certificate and can take the Texas Board of Nursing's national licensure exam.

LVNs are important in healthcare, working under registered nurses (RNs) or doctors. The average wage for LVNs in the Golden Crescent region is $24 per hour. Career growth is possible with further training. The program is Victoria College's response to the healthcare industry's need for LVNs and RNs.

Darla Strother, Dean of VC’s Division of Allied Health, stressed the college's commitment to helping future nurses. She mentioned new resources to help applicants understand the admission process and numerous scholarships to ease financial burdens.

The college advises applicants to submit their applications by April 1 to have enough time to meet admission requirements. Priority for scholarships will be given to those who complete all requirements by May 15. The final deadline for admission requirements is October 1.
