Chardé L. Vance, LVN

Originally from Oceanside, Charde moved to Sacramento with her family in 1999 and attended Valley High School. Her interest in healthcare led her to join the school’s Health Tech Academy where she was exposed to the nursing profession. She attended Sacramento City College where she obtained a degree in Nutrition and pre- allied health professions, eventually choosing a private college to complete a Vocational Nurse licensure program. As a Licensed Vocational Nurse, Charde has had the opportunity to work in Long-Term care, post acute care and in public health as a school nurse where she currently works. She hopes to inspire people of color to pursue careers in healthcare through education, knowledge and leadership. As a member of CCBNA she represents a community that aims to advocate for the need of nurses and enhance the nursing educational pipeline.
