CFCC Accepting Applications for Nursing Programs

May 7, 2008

Central Florida Community College will be holding information sessions for its popular nursing programs which have no waiting lists for admission.

“There are no waiting lists for the nursing programs, as some residents believe, and there are options for part-time, full-time, and evening/weekend classes,” said Dr. Mark Paugh, dean for Health and Human Services. “The sessions provide information on admissions criteria, program requirements, cost and more.”
      The information sessions include:

  • Practical Nursing, Thursday, May 22, at 6 p.m.; Monday, June 9, at 1 p.m.; and Thursday, June 19, at 6 p.m. All sessions will meet in Building 19, Room 118, at the CFCC Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road.
  • Nursing and Licensed Practical Nurse to Associate Degree Nurse Bridge programs, Thursday, May 22, at 6:45 p.m.; Monday, June 9, at 2 p.m.; and Thursday, June 19, at 6:45 p.m. The sessions also meet in Building 19, Room 118, Ocala Campus.
  • Citrus Campus ADN program, Tuesday, June, 24, at noon in Building L3, Room 107, 3800 S. Lecanto Highway, Lecanto.

“CFCC began offering the Associate Degree Nursing program in 1963 and the first class graduated in 1965. Since that time CFCC has educated thousands of excellent nurses to meet the health care needs of our community,” said Dr. Gwen Alcorn, associate dean for Health and Human Services at CFCC. “Consistently the CFCC nursing program graduates have a 92 to 98 percent pass rate on the registered nurse licensing examination — above state and national averages.”

CFCC began offering nursing program clinical experiences in Citrus County in 1987. The full ADN program began in Citrus County in 2006 with the first class graduating on Friday, May 2, 2008. 

“The nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission Inc. It is the only program in the area that has earned this designation of excellence,” Alcorn said. “To earn this designation CFCC nursing faculty demonstrated that the college and the nursing program meet the highest standards for faculty, curriculum, teaching, and support services for students. All full-time faculty are prepared at the master’s degree in nursing level with nursing specialties.”
