Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse Training

Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse Training is offered as a one- to two-year certificate program at Otsego Area BOCES-Practical Nursing Program, a public institution located in Oneonta, NY. This program is designed to prepare students for the NCLEX-PN licensure examination and entry-level employment as licensed practical nurses in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other health care settings.

The program is part of the practical nursing field (CIP 51.3901). As a BOCES-affiliated program, it reflects a workforce-focused approach to vocational education, emphasizing hands-on clinical training alongside classroom instruction. Graduates are prepared to provide direct patient care under the supervision of registered nurses and physicians in a range of health care environments in New York and beyond.
