Nursing Students Start Clincial Rotation
The first year pre-licensure nursing students at East Central College’s Union campus recently
started their clinical rotation.
ECC’s Associate Degree Nursing programs include supervised practicum in a variety of
health care agencies every semester, giving students the opportunity to practice skills and
apply knowledge learned in the classroom. These students will graduate in May of 2014
with an Associate of Applied Science degree in nursing. They will then be eligible to apply
to write the NCLEX-RN Exam for licensure as registered nurses.
In both Union and Rolla, ECC offers the traditional pre-licensure nursing programs as well
as LPN to RN bridge programs for licensed practical nurses interested in becoming
registered nurses. The nursing programs at both locations are fully approved by the
Missouri State Board of Nursing.
