Dear Jessica,

On Friday, November 2, 2018 the LVN faculty, our Dean Ron Hannon, and our Vice President of Academic Affairs Denee Pescarmona voted to defer accepting a fall class into the L VN Program for Fall 2019, and to redesign the curriculum into a shorter, more compact program to begin admission for Fall 2020. I understand that the curriculum will need to be submitted to Jessica Gomez, our Nursing Education Consultant for review, and then is subject to the BVNPT approval prior to implementation and admission of an L VN class.

I plan to be present at the February Board meeting to answer any questions regarding our L VN admissions and curriculum.

Susan Turner, MSN, RN, FNP Director, L VN Program
