Spring Update

Happy Spring!! We finally have some beautiful weather and the school year is winding down. The PN and ADN students have 1-2 weeks left of classroom and clinical work. Many of them will be taking classes over the summer in preparation for next year or in finishing up their PN requirements. The nursing faculty is just beginning to wind up for all the summer work. We recived word from the Iowa Board of Nursing earlier this year, that they had approved our changes for the new curriculum to go into effect Fall 2010. And Tuesday evening, the Iowa Lakes Community College Board of Directors approved our changes. So we are busy working on new classes, new labs and new clinical experiences. It is very exciting and alot of hard work. We feel this new curriculum will be a big benefit to our students, not only will they go through one application process for the ADN program, but we can assist them in choosing the right program that fits their abilities.
Stay tuned for more updates as the process continues! Have a great Spring and Summer.
