| Licensed vocational nursing courses to be offered on Saipan
|
| Tuesday
|
Vocational nursing degree program, Licensed Vocational Nursing, is being planned to open on Saipan in May this year, allowing interested local and foreign students to take up and complete the course in less than a year and be able to work afterwards.
California-based investor Sedy Demesa-Bernabe, who held talks with CNMI government and business groups last week, said that graduates of the program would be eligible to take up the NCLEX [nursing licensure exam] or even choose to pursue other advanced nursing courses.
“What I think is important for students to know is that after the 11-month program, they can work right away at the entry level. The LVN program is widely accepted in the U.S., especially in California,” she said.
Demesa-Bernabe, who owns the second-largest nursing home chain in California, Pleasant Care, said that LVNs receive a wage rate of up to $27 per hour in the U.S.
She said the licensed vocational nursing courses to be offered on Saipan are based on a curriculum approved by the California Board of Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians.
An LVN is an entry-level health care provider who is responsible for rendering basic nursing care. A vocational nurse practices under the direction of a physician or registered nurse.
Data showed that an LVN training requires some 1,530 total hours. It includes 576 hours theory, 954 hours clinical, and 54 hours pharmacology.
A typical course covers the following subjects: Anatomy & Physiology, Psychology, Pharmacology, Nursing Process, Communication, Patient Education, Nutrition, Normal Growth and Development, Rehabilitation Nursing, Maternity Nursing, Nursing Fundamentals, Pediatric Nursing, Medical/Surgical Nursing, Gerontological Nursing, Supervision, Leadership, Communicable Disease, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
The LVN course will be offered by Demesa's Emmanuel College, which is applying for accreditation with the CNMI State Board of Regents.
Emmanuel College will be located at Pacific Towers, formerly Koreana Hotel, in Chalan Kanoa, a property acquired by Demesa's group about two years ago.
The college is named after Demesa's husband Emmanuel, who is the president of Pleasant Care.
Demesa is the executive vice president of the company.
Emmanuel College is a sister company of Stockton, California-based Xavier College.
Local and foreign students
Demesa said the LVN program will be open to local residents, as well as students from South Korea, China, and the Philippines, among others.
Her business associate from Korea joined her on Saipan last week to meet with local government and education leaders.
Demesa's team met with Gov. Benigno R. Fitial, lawmakers and officials of Northern Marianas College, the Public School System, and the Board of Education.
“We've had productive meetings. We look forward to working closely with them,” said Demesa.
She said the college will not compete with NMC's nursing program.
“We're offering LVN degree course which is not being offered by NMC. We are complementing NMC. In fact, our students can pursue their nursing studies further at NMC if they want to,” she said.
The under-funded community college currently offers a two-year associate nursing program. (source) |

| Triton College vocational course enrollment up 30 percent
|
| Sunday
|
The shaky job market has helped boost registration for Triton College's vocational courses -- enrollment has increased 30 percent in the past year.
"People are looking at investing themselves, improving their resumes and going into vocational training for short-term certificates to help them in the job market," said Paul Jensen, dean of continuing education, the department overseeing the vocational courses.
The percent of job seekers in the Chicago area reached a five-year high this summer. The unemployment rate was 6.8 percent in June, the highest since the end of 2003, according to data from Illinois Department of Employment Security.
The continuing education department went from offering five certificate program last year to now offering 23 certificate programs, Jensen said. Overall, the Triton offers more than 300 vocational courses, including courses Jensen categorizes as personal enrichment.
While vocational classes -- like real estate, project management, massage therapy and home inspection -- have "gone to the roof" in enrollment, the personal enrichment classes -- like art, music and the humanities -- have stayed the same compared to last year, Jensen said.
Beth Luparello, 54, is a student in Triton's 11-week pharmacy technician course. She recently closed her floral business in Oak Park after 25 years.
"Everything was costing too much," Luparello, an Elmwood Park resident, said. "It was time for a change."
Luparello's sister is a nurse and suggested she go to pharmacy school, which Luparello said she is planning to do.
Another Triton student, Tom Zimmerman, 29, said he hopes the continuing education class will help him find work in a hospital pharmacy. He said he wanted to gain some work experience before applying for medical school.
"(The work experience) gives an edge on the application," Zimmerman said.
Jensen said the offerings of the continuing education department can vary widely, depending on student demand. The school relies on surveys and in-person feedback from students to determine where the demand lies, Jensen said.
"At the end of the day, (students) vote with their enrollment," Jensen said. (source) |
