Skagit Valley College (SVC) is hosting an Information Session for Prospective Nursing Students with faculty and advisors from the SVC Nursing Program on Wednesday, Nov.12 at the San Juan Center in Friday Harbor. The two-hour session is in Room D and begins promptly at 11:45 a.m., concluding by 1:45 p.m. (this time frame is to accommodate ferry travelers from throughout the islands).

The session’s focus is on the Licensed Practical Nursing and Resident Nursing Programs options along with enrollment processes, entrance requirements and management of the wait list. All pertinent nursing program paperwork is available to meeting attendees.

It should be noted that there is a new requirement for admission to the SVC Nursing Program which is State Certification as a Nursing Assistant. San Juan County students now have a local option that will help in preparing to meet this requirement by enrolling in the Nursing 100 class - Nursing Assistant/AIDS Education offered Winter Quarter 2009 at the San Juan Center. For more information, contact Skagit Valley College-San Juan Center 378-3220
