The VN Program is a one-year certificate program, which prepares students for licensure as a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN).  Please see the link below for a description of the VN Program and the VN Program degree plan.

Vocational Nursing Program

Both nursing programs at Amarillo College offer students an opportunity to take classes in contemporary, mediated classrooms in recently renovated or newly-constructed buildings.  The Nursing Resource Center (NRC) is a state-of-the art facility, which provides an environment for students to learn nursing skills in hospital-like settings.  A new clinical simulation laboratory within the NRC provides nursing students unique opportunities to practice patient-centered nursing care using simulated scenarios.  Nursing students at AC obtain clinical experiences at various local hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, long-term care facilities, and schools throughout the community.
