NEWEST Program on the Pathway to become a RN

Vantage Career Center is excited to announce our newest program on the pathway to becoming a RN. The Practical Nursing Prep Pathway class is a 22-month program designed to emphasize essential nursing courses at a more manageable pace with a lighter class load. Once admitted into the PNP, students will undertake fewer courses, enabling them to focus on core nursing skills. The PNP Prep Pathway supports students aiming to become nurses at a steadier pace, providing more time for studying, family, and work.
