On Dec. 10, the Burrell conference room on Southwestern Community College’s Jackson Campus was packed full of friends and family as the college’s founding class of Practical Nursing students celebrated their accomplishments during a pinning ceremony.
All 13 of the students completed 400 hours of clinical training and graduated in SCC’s commencement ceremony on Dec. 18.
“I am so proud of each of these students,” said Practical Nursing Coordinator Carly Messer. “Teaching and watching them grow over the last year has been an honor. I cannot wait to see how they continue to succeed in the future.”
The graduates may either continue their educational journeys or get started pursuing their careers in the field.
