Overview
This is the most adventurous time to enter the nursing profession! Demand for nurses continues to grow while supply steadily decreases. This situation will worsen with the aging of our population. In addition, many nurses are expected to retire within the next ten years. Rewards in nursing include constant opportunities to give compassionate, competent care that makes a difference in the lives of others and positively contributes to the health and well-being of humanity. Nursing also gives you job security, flexibility in hours, full benefits for part-time work, incentives to continue with education, pension plans, and varied work settings.
Our graduates and local community health care providers believe our program prepares competent entry-level nurses. Please consider the EVC Nursing Program as your program of choice as you consider a career in nursing.
