The PNP Prep Pathway is a slower paced and expansive pathway for students into the Practical
Nursing Program at Vantage Career Center. This pathway offers 174 theory clock hours. These
courses will provide students with the knowledge that prepares them for the Practical Nursing
Program. Once the preparation courses are successfully completed, students can then apply for
admission into the Practical Nursing Program. Once admitted into the Practical Nursing
Program, students will take fewer courses, which will allow them to focus on the main nursing
courses. The PNP Prep Pathway is beneficial for students looking to become a Practical Nurse at
a slower pace, which will potentially allow for more time for studying, family, and work.
