ECC Nursing Students Hold Clinical Orientation Day

ECC Nursing Students Hold Clinical Orientation Day

October 17, 2022 |

For the first-year East Central College nursing students, last week’s Clinical Orientation Day was a major step in their journey into the health care field.

The students were in full uniform Tuesday, Oct. 11, to start clinicals — a vital, hands-on portion of the nursing program curriculum.

This is the first semester in the ECC Nursing program for these students, who were photographed during their Fundamentals of Nursing course.

The classroom and clinical components of the curriculum are interrelated to provide a strong background for students to become safe and competent practitioners.

ECC offers two programs leading to an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing, which prepare students to become registered nurses.
