For more information about this new policy, you can contact the BVNPT at (916) 263-7800, or by email at BVNPT@dca.ca.gov.

Each day of this course provides 12 hours of instruction (not including lunch or breaks) and begins at 7:00am sharp. Any missed hours due to lateness can be made up at the end of class or rescheduled to another course. This course will not end prior to the stated 12 hours of instruction, with no exceptions in order to prevent a delay in your certified status at a State level.

Our primary goal is to provide the highest quality of instruction and education to each of our students, and to ensure the safety of their future patients.

To ensure students feel comfortable during testing, safety issues and possible complications are covered prior to examination.

Practical testing on fellow students is required on the last day of class that included live sticks. A proxy may be brought in your place if you cannot have a live stick performed on you for any reason. LVNs with license numbers will be issued an IV Therapy/Blood Withdrawal Certificate upon successful completion of this course.

LVN students and those whose licenses are pending will be provided with a temporary certificate of completion that may be shown to current or potential employers as proof of course completion.

Upon course registration, the student manual can be mailed to the provided shipping address at student's request.

All State paperwork will be sent to the BVNPT by Genesis on student's behalf upon course completion. Student will receive the original documents and certificate for their records.
