Working as a nurse can be one of the most rewarding careers in health care; the first step to working in Vocational Nursing* is to earn a Certificate and/or Associate degree and you can do this at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ California. Vocational Nurses (also known as Practical Nurses in some states) provide basic bedside care for people experiencing common, well defined health problems.  As a Vocational Nurse you could work in a hospital, nursing home, a physician’s office or clinic, a patient’s home, but always under the guidance of a registered nurse or licensed physician.  Depending on the medical environment that you go on to work in, a Vocational Nurse can have a variety of duties; from the measurement and recording of patients’ vital signs, to assisting with bathing, dressing, feeding, and personal hygiene, and even office-related duties in some settings.  You may also work with patients’ relatives, teaching them basic nursing techniques for home care. If you join our program at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ California, you’ll discover that the faculty members at our California nursing schools aren’t just teachers, they’re mentors.
