⚠️ COVID-19 Updates for OJC Campus
The OJC Nursing Program will pin 19 students in the Traditional Practical Nurse (PN) program on May 25 at 6 p.m. in the Ed Stafford Theatre in OJC’s Humanities Center.
The students have completed at least 11 months of full-time study in addition to completing related course work prior to admission into the nursing program.
Successful completion of the Practical Nursing program allows the graduate to submit an application to the State Board of Nursing for the State Licensure Examination. Upon passing the state exam, graduates will receive the distinction of being a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). These students are also prepared to enter their second year in the nursing program to complete an Associate of Applied Science degree in nursing and test to become a Registered Nurse.
“We are proud of the all of our student’s hard work and dedication to the program,” said Diane McElroy, director of nursing and allied health. “We ask all to come support and congratulate our students who have worked so hard to achieve this accomplishment.”
For those interested in studying for a career in nursing, Fall Semester at OJC begins on Aug. 20. For information about enrolling in the OJC Nursing Program, contact the OJC Student Services office at 719-384-6831 or the Nursing Dept. office at 719-384-6898.
