Los Angeles Trade - Technical College / Nursing
Program:The Registered Nursing Program at Los Angeles
Trade-Technical College started in 1970 as
a result of community interest and the desire
expressed by many Licensed Vocational Nurses
to continue their nursing education toward
Registered Nurse status. As a result the
LVN to RN option was initiated. In 1986 the
generic option was added to the program and
the first non-licensed candidates were admitted
to the program, thereby, allowing program
admission by both licensed and non-licensed
candidates. Candidates who are graduates
of an accredited Vocational Nursing Program
and currently licensed as an LVN in California
will be placed in the third semester of the
Registered Nursing Program once a comprehensive
test in basic Medical-Surgical Nursing at
75% or more.

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
