VC’s nursing programs hold information sessions throughout the region

The Victoria College Vocational Nursing and Associate Degree–Nursing programs will host a series of Nursing Information Nights aimed at providing information to those who wish to enter the field of nursing. Each information session will provide details on the exciting and rewarding field of nursing, the Nursing Entrance Test (NET), credit and non-credit allied health classes and the rewards and challenges of VC’s Nursing programs.

Nursing combines the art of caring with a love for science and the dedication to develop the skills necessary to help care for the sick and provide healthcare information to patients. VC offers programs to help those special people who love science and have great compassion to become nurses.

Nurses are in high demand and play a vital role in our healthcare system. Providing patient care for the sick is only one element of nursing. Nurses today also help promote health, prevent disease, help patients and their families cope with illness, emergencies and long-term disease and work to make healthier communities. Nurses have the opportunity to make a difference in the world on a daily basis.
