The deadline for applications for Lone Star College-Tomball’s vocational nursing program is September 6, 2013. In order to apply, students must take and submit their entrance exam scores no later than August 30.

LSC-Tomball’s vocational nursing program is a three semester, one year full-time program that prepares students interested in becoming a licensed vocational nurse (LVN).  Students in the program learn to provide nursing care in a variety of health care settings.

“The LVN program is a wonderful way for students interested in healthcare to obtain careers in nursing homes, physician practices, extended care facilities, hospitals, and more,” said Catherine Wampler, director of nursing programs at LSC-Tomball. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment for LVN’s is expected to increase 22% between 2010 and 2020. In 2010, the average median pay for an LVN was $40,380 per year or $19.42 per hour.

LSC-Tomball’s Health Science Building is located at 700 Graham Drive in Tomball. For more information about the vocational nursing program at LSC-Tomball, call 281.826.5393 or visit www.LoneStar.edu/Nursing-Tomball.
