Nursing
Nursing offers students a lifelong career in the health care field. Nursing has greatly expanded in the last twenty years to offer
students employment opportunities in a broad range of settings. Job placement includes acute care, extended care, clinics, doctors'
offices, mental health centers, prison and correction centers, and other community agencies. Graduates can continue to pursue their
education, leading them to areas of education, management, research, and entrepreneurships.
Spokane Community College's Nursing Program is approved by the Washington State Nursing Quality Assurance
Commission.
Student Learning Outcomes
SCC's Nursing Department supports an educational environment in which the power and growth of learning are valued highly. The department
is dedicated to the idea that our students will demonstrate four critical Student Learning Abilities as they relate to our institution
and the larger community: Responsibility, Communications, Problem Solving and Global Awareness.
Program Prerequisites
Please refer to the official program outline for up-to-date information.
Persons with Disabilities
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, accommodations for students with disabilities will be considered at the student's request. The student will be required
to register with the Disability Support Services office and provide documentation of disability. Once the student is qualified by
the DSS Manager as having a disability, requested accommodations will be considered. Accommodations for the classroom, laboratory,
or clinical setting will be considered according to reasonableness. Accommodations that compromise patient care, or that
fundamentally alter the nature of the program or activity, are not considered to be reasonable. A student denied accommodation may
request an individualized determination to assure that the denial is not a result of disability discrimination by contacting the
Manager of Disability Support Services and Testing at 533-7498. Procedures for appeal are outlined in the SCC Center for
Students with Disabilities Student Handbook. Other than accommodation issues, procedures for student grievances including
academic dismissal are outlined in the following SCC website:
