Welcome to CentralNursingCollege.com

Central Nursing College was founded in 1995 under the name Central Medical Center Vocational School (CMCVS) by the current owner and administrator, Katherine Ahn. Since its inception, the school has garnered many awards and commendations for successful training and placement of hundreds upon hundreds of caring, quality allied health care professionals.

This trend toward dynamic excellence is carried over into the changes that centered around gaining approval by the Board of Vocational Nurses and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT) to operate a Vocational Nursing program under the new name Central Nursing College.
