Programs Offered

Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN): Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN's) assist in the care of patients with medical problems. LVN's can work in hospitals, both public and private, in nursing and convalescent homes, in medical clinics and for health service agencies, government agencies such as the Peace Corps, and in the military. Some are self-employed working through nursing agencies for private duty service. This program is 66 weeks long.


Psychiatric Technician: Licensed Psychiatric Technicians (PTs) are responsible for the care of mentally disordered and developmentally disabled clients. They work under the direction of a physician, psychologist, rehabilitation therapist, social worker, registered nurse or other professional personnel. This program is 60 weeks long.


Certified Nurse Assistant: The CNEI Certified Nurse Assistant Program prepares students to perform the rewarding work of caring for patients in skilled nursing facilities. Since aides have extensive daily contact with each patient, they are key to providing vital information on the patients' conditions to the nurse. This program is 12 weeks long.


Phlebotomy: Phlebotomists collect the blood necessary for testing; allowing the healthcare provider to make informed decisions. Skilled phlebotomists can find hidden veins, introduce a needle into the vein, and extract blood with little or no discomfort to the patient. This program is 8 weeks long.


Home Health Aid: The Home Health Aide curriculum was designed as a 40-hour add-on course to follow a certified nurse assistant curriculum that meets Federal and State regulations. The student will receive a Certificate of Completion upon satisfactory completion of the program.
