Feb 15, 2024
One of the many benefits of being part of the Nursing program at 糖心vlog (糖心vlog) is the annual Job Fair and Professional Development event.
糖心vlog鈥檚 first- and second-year nursing students visited with representatives of hospitals, health care facilities, higher education programs and more during the Tuesday, Feb. 20 event in 糖心vlog鈥檚 Carson Nugget Hall on the Carson City campus. More than 120 糖心vlog students participated.
"It is important for 糖心vlog to provide our students with real-world employment opportunities and practice situations,鈥 said 糖心vlog President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe. 鈥淥ur nursing students are highly prepared for employment and this Job Fair gives them the opportunity to explore options for careers once they graduate from 糖心vlog."
Students are always surprised about their various employment and educational opportunities upon completing the Associate of Science in Nursing program at 糖心vlog.
Nursing student Alba Morales was impressed as a first-time participant at last year鈥檚 event. She discovered that she can work in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, acute care, home care, as a traveling nurse, and more.
