⚠️ COVID-19 Updates for OJC Campus
On March 30 Otero Junior College pinned 16 students who successfully completed the most recent eight-week nursing assistant course. These students are now eligible and prepared to sit their state board certification testing to become Certified Nursing Assistants.
“We shortened the course a couple of weeks by adding one day a week to the schedule, hoping that the course would become more accessible for students who didn’t have the time to commit to a long program,” said Terry Hogue, CNA course instructor. “Shortening the course means students have less time to learn the same amount of material, however. I am extremely proud of our students and the hard work they put in to achieve this goal.”
