Our nursing program is built on a standard of excellence. SCC has had a nursing program since 1946 with the introduction of a
practical nurse program. The associate degree nursing program, which prepares the graduate for licensure as a registered nurse,
began in 1970. Graduates from both programs are well-received in the community. Part of the success of the nursing program can
be attributed to the fact that the students have access to a nursing practice laboratory, computer-assisted instruction, and a
variety of excellent clinical settings. The campus Learning Resources Center provides a wealth of information
for the student in the form of books and electronic media. Students consistently practice the theories and skills learned in
the classroom in the lab and in the clinical settings.
Gary Evers, RN, Staff Nurse:
"With personal motivation and the SCC nursing program, you can succeed. Without SCC, I wouldn’t have a real career. When
I graduated from the nursing program, I had all the skills, networking and professionalism I needed to succeed."
Mary Ann Corman, RN, Nurse Manager:
"SCC provides good clinical experience. The support of the instructors made me learn. We were made to work and I appreciate it now."
Chuck O'Brian, RN, Nurse Manager:
"The community college and the nursing program provide an excellent return on your investment of time and money. SCC gives the
student a great potential to be successful in their career, whatever one wants to do."
