CVNE Organization |
 |
As its name implies, support for vocational nursing education and networking opportunities are the major purposes for the non-profit California Vocational Nurse Educators organization. Our goals are to offer biannual conferences with relevant continuing education subjects for vocational nurse educators and provide an opportunity for networking with peers to share innovative ideas. We support activities of allied health professionals and legislators in matters, which affect health care in California, take stands on issues affecting vocational nursing education and promote the image of the vocational nurse as a valuable member of the health care team. We promote communication with the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians and support student vocational nurses and vocational nursing educators through scholarships.
CVNE
normally has two Conferences each year, one the latter part of April
and one the middle of October held on Friday and Saturday. The spring meeting is
held in northern California and the fall meeting is in southern California. Continuing
Education credit is given for the meetings.
