31 PRACTICAL NURSING GRADUATES RECEIVE
PINS AT ANNUAL CEREMONY

   More than 400 people were in attendance to watch 31 students graduate from the St. Charles Community College practical nursing program on Saturday, March 17, in the College Center on the SCC campus.

    The graduates completed a 14-month practical nursing program and are now eligible to apply for the state licensure exam.

    “This is a great time to enter the field. The nursing shortage continues, so our students
shouldn’t have a difficult time finding a job after passing their exam,” said Rusty St. John, coordinator of the SCC practical nursing program.

    The SCC practical nursing program prepares students to administer safe, patient-centered care in beginning staff nurse roles in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, doctor's offices, and other health care facilities and home settings.
