WNCC Nursing Program Earns Approval by State Board

Western Nevada Community College's well-regarded associate degree nursing program has been approved for four more years by the Nevada State Board of Nursing. WNCC's Director of Nursing and Allied Health, Dr. Judith Cordia, was upbeat. "We are very pleased with the approval for the maximum number of years," she said. "It speaks highly of the program, faculty, students and the entire college. It shows the support the WNCC nursing program has throughout our service area."

President Carol Lucey concurred. "We are all very proud of this outstanding program and the wonderful people who are a part of it. Our nursing students take a full college curriculum, with courses in general education and the sciences in addition to their nursing coursework. They use resources such as counseling and library services. Hence, the strong endorsement of its quality by the board of nursing is a statement of approval not just for the nursing program, but for the other areas of college instruction and support services as well."
