Nursing students practice taking blood pressure readings.A strong math and science background, along with basic knowledge on keyboarding, word processing, Internet, and computer use, is important for success in the nursing program.

Graduates are employed in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, long term care facilities, physician offices and home health. Graduates can easily transfer to a four-year institution for their bachelor's degree.
