PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College will host a Nursing Open House on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its new Nursing Suite, located on the Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital – Vermont Health campus.
The suite is situated on the third floor of the 206 Cornelia St. building, which is on hospital grounds.
Those interested are encouraged to attend and learn more about CCC’s nursing program, which prepares students for licensure as registered nurses and offers extensive clinical training, hands-on lab experience and a strong professional foundation.
Graduates enter the workforce ready to meet the growing demand for skilled nurses in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities and other health care settings.
Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the college’s new nursing labs at CVPH, meet faculty members and talk with current students about their experiences. Visitors will also learn about SUNY Reconnect, an initiative that provides eligible adults ages 25 to 55 with a tuition-free path to select associate degree programs at SUNY community colleges, including CCC. The nursing program is among those that qualify.
Representatives from admissions and financial aid will be on site to discuss the application process, financial aid options, scholarships and student support services.
“Clinton Community College is proud to offer a high quality nursing program that meets the needs of our regional health care workforce,” Acting President Ken Knelly said in a press release. “We encourage anyone considering a career in nursing, whether they are just starting out or looking to return to college, to come explore the opportunities available at Clinton.”
