Lake Superior College Keeps Nursing Pipeline Going, Even During The Pandemic |
|
Check out this story on Fox 21 News featuring Anna Sackette-Urness, LSC's Dean of Allied Health and Nursing. (Great job, Anna! Thanks for doing this.)
The pandemic is creating a strong need for more healthcare workers. Lake Superior College is on track to graduate about 50 nursing students this month (ceremony will be on LSC's Facebook page, @lakesuperiorcollege, December 16 at 7:00 p.m.) and another 90 in the spring. Enrollment in several healthcare programs is up, as more students are seeking to be part of the solution.
We are so proud of all of our students, faculty and staff who are safely persevering through all the necessary COVID-19 adjustments to keep moving forward.
