Nursing Career Day held at WSCC.

Nursing Career Day (NCD), an annual event sponsored by West Shore Community College’ s Nursing and Allied Health Division, was held Wednesday, March 4 in the college’s Tech Center Atrium.

Now in its 18^th year, NCD is designed to create a forum for WSCC nursing students and alumni to connect with employers, particularly hospitals, healthcare-related organizations, as well as undergraduate and graduate schools of nursing. There were 25 employers, universities, and vendors recruiting West Shore students.

 “This event is organized by the Nursing 260 students and always offers an opportunity to make helpful contacts, whether a nursing job search is for the immediate future or a little further out,” stated the college’s Director of Nursing Shelley Boes. “It gives our students an opportunity to speak with prospective employers and colleges for those students wishing to further their education beyond West Shore. Many students have found employment from this event and the students have been busy preparing their resumes and thinking about questions they might ask of the vendors related to education or employment.” 

The event is organized specifically for graduating RN students. First level nursing students, M.A. students, CNA, and CTE Allied Health students were also invited. There are 18 RN students scheduled to graduate from the college in May, and 23 LPN students.
