Mendocino College is launching a new Vocational Nursing program at the Ukiah Campus, replacing the Adult School program to lower student costs and create a pathway to the Registered Nursing program, strengthening the local healthcare workforce. Applications for the first cohort, starting in August, are open through March 13, requiring a mandatory pre-application workshop. Admission is lottery-based. Details and registration are at www.mendocino.edu/LVN.
