The Blinn College District Vocational Nursing (VOCN) Program is a 10-12 month course of study offered on the Brenham Campus providing the education and training needed to become a highly skilled, licensed vocational nurse (LVN) capable of working in a variety of medical settings. No prerequisite courses are required. The program consists of classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences in the acute care setting and other healthcare facilities in Brenham and the surrounding area.
