Rad Tech, Nursing Application Deadlines Nearing

For students considering a career in healthcare, two fields to consider include nursing and radiology technology. Each career option can begin on a Kent State Columbiana County campus, and it can begin soon. Applications to the associate degree in nursing program (offered at the East Liverpool Campus) and the radiology technology program (offered at the Salem Campus) are each due on Feb. 1, 2018.

Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)

Nursing makes a great impact on the physical and emotional well-being of people in all stages of life. Registered nurses provide care to patients to attain, restore and maintain health. The ADN program is designed to prepare a student to become a registered nurse who provides and manages care for patients across the lifespan – from prenatal to pediatrics to geriatric care.

An associate degree of applied science in nursing – along with a successful state licensure – can provide strong employment possibilities in healthcare. Graduates also have a smooth articulation into the Bachelor of Science nursing degree program. All of the credits earned in the ADN program can be applied toward a bachelor’s degree.

Admission to this program is selective and anyone interested should meet with the program director to discuss requirements. For an appointment, call the nursing office on the East Liverpool Campus at 330-382-7510.
