Southeast Tech's First Class Graduates from RN Program in Huron

HURON – A joint Registered Nursing (RN) program, with roots that extend back more than four years in the community, saw its first class of graduates receive their pins in a ceremony held Tuesday evening at the Huron College Campus Fine Arts Center’s theater.

The program, a joint endeavor among the Huron Community Campus, Southeast Technical Institute and Huron Medical Center, grew from a meeting held in January of 2015, when several members of the community formed the Huron Nursing Taskforce, to address the loss of the HCC two-year nursing program and how to make the educational opportunity available to those Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) seeking to take the next step.
