Offering options for earning AAS degrees in Nursing or Nursing Mobility, as well as Certificates in Practical Nursing, students have various pathways to pursue their nursing goals.

One notable aspect of the program is its emphasis on hands-on experience and exposure to real-world clinical settings. Through partnerships with hospitals and healthcare facilities, students benefit from valuable clinical experiences that enrich their learning.

The program's high job placement rate reflects the quality of education and training provided. Nursing graduates typically achieve a 100% job placement rate before graduation, highlighting the program's reputation for producing skilled professionals in high demand.

Additionally, the nursing program collaborates with local hospitals to offer apprenticeship opportunities. Selected apprentices are employed by participating facilities, allowing them to earn money while completing their required clinical time.
