Valley Career and Technical Center’s School of Practical Nursing program has created a culture that embraces the functions of mentoring, role modeling, and caring for each student holistically. Each student’s qualities and gifts as a caregiver are enhanced through encouraging personal, professional, spiritual, and emotional growth.
This growth and development are essential for entry-level LPNs as they prepare to enter the ever-changing healthcare environment ready to meet the needs of and the challenges presented by individuals in their care.
The program maintains high standards of academic attainment and employment success through the interaction of a committed faculty and sincerely invested students.
These high expectations are substantiated by the 2021 #4 ranking by Nursing Schools Almanac and the #1 ranking (in Virginia) by Practical Nursing.org in 2016.
Our program is Approved through the Virginia Board of Education and Virginia Board of Nursing but is not accredited by a nursing education accrediting body. Therefore, we are not able to accept traditional federal student loans and grants. However, please visit our Tuition page for links to other valuable tuition assistance resources.
