Midland College offers vocational nursing education courses on the main campus in Midland and in Fort Stockton at the Williams Regional Technical Training Center (WRTTC).

The Vocational Nursing Program is a one-year (12-month) program leading to a certificate. Satisfactory completion of the program qualifies the individual to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nursing (NCLEX-PN) which in turn allows the individual to become licensed to practice as a vocational nurse. The curriculum prepares the graduate to work in an acute or long-term care facility, nursing agency, or physician’s office.

Requirements for graduation include successfully completing completion of all courses with a minimum grade of “C” (75), passing the end of program achievement test, exit exam, and satisfying all college financial requirements. The passing standard for a grade of “C” in nursing (VNSG) courses is 75. Requirements to write the licensure examination (NCLEX-PN) include written application to and approval by the Texas Board of Nursing , payment of fees, certification by the program chair, and graduation from the program

Special Admission Requirements: The Vocational Nursing program has limited enrollments based on specific admission criteria.
