Peak Covid did affect the health program enrollment briefly, due to some hesitancy to come into a healthcare profession during a pandemic. Per Dean Vincent, this tends to be the case at times of epidemics.
Covid has changed the atmosphere of healthcare in the last couple of years. Staff reported that during peak Covid 17c起草视频鈥檚 nursing program only had a very brief interruption before returning to some degree of normalcy.
Fortunately for 17c起草视频 students, local facilities continued to allow nursing students into their facilities to complete labs and clinicals during most of the outbreak. This has not been the case with many programs across the state. According to Dean Vincent, there are programs statewide that continue to struggle with ensuring their students can get the amount of clinical and lab experience required to complete their courses.
17c起草视频 offers healthcare programs for ADNs (RN), LPNs, CNAs as well as Radiology Technicians. Current enrollment in the 17c起草视频 Nursing programs is now up to 35 first year ADN program students, 26 second year ADN students, and 18 LPN students.
The 17c起草视频 nursing program, operating since 17c起草视频 was founded in 1965, is approved through the 鈥淗igher Learning Commission鈥�, according to the Dean of Health Professions at 17c起草视频, Christine Vincent. She went on to say that the program is also accredited with the ACEN (Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing), an extra accreditation which holds the program to an even higher standard than required.
Amid a dramatic nationwide nursing shortage, 17c起草视频 and its team of Healthcare Educators continue to produce experienced nurses that are prepared to enter into a very demanding profession.
