Happy New Year 2024
Welcome to 2024 ! We have a lot going on here at The Vocational Nursing Institute Inc. We will be sharing in our newsletter some of the plans happening here this year - we hope you will be as excited as we are! We had our reaffirmation accreditation visit in December with a commendation in clinical partnerships, we are proudly sharing the new logo for COE.
Graduations Upcoming
We have two nursing cohorts that are graduating in 2024, 23-24 VN Day and 22-24 VN EVE. Both groups are getting really close to the last days of nursing school for them! Graduation will be held at the Magnolia Event Center and we are preparing for a full house on 5/20/2024 so keep this date handy if you are in one of our VN programs or on staff here!
VNI to Partner with Graduate America Inc. April 2024
VNI has been working for several months, almost 6 months on partnering with Graduate America with a change in its ownership hopefully if all the stars align by April 2024. Malcolm Allen, the owner of Graduate America Inc. and Dr. Kelly DNP President of The Vocational Nursing Institute Inc. have been working hard since August 2023 to make this dream a reality. We are very excited to share this news with our students and the public and will keep working with all the necessary individuals and departments ongoing to be compliant and have a smooth transition for our students and staff.
Vocational Nursing Institute Website and COVID updates continue 2024
In response to COVID19 The Vocational Nursing Institute Inc. went remote with all of its classes in order to protect its students, faculty, staff, and the community at large. Director Kelly worked with the Texas Workforce Commission, Council of Occupational Education, Texas Board of Nursing, and Workforce Solutions to ensure coordination occurred on all levels with appropriate temporary approvals in place to conduct remote classes. After the pandemic we successfully got approved as a hybrid nursing program. We continue to track our covid outbreaks, still ensure we follow our protocols, and have added to our curriculum the World Health Organization training modules on covid for our incoming students.
