Student nurses in this program gain essential nursing skills, knowledge, and experience while preparing to integrate into the hospital’s community culture during clinicals. This experience allows future nurses to complete their education and be ready to start their careers in only 18 months. By completing clinical experiences at hospitals in the Youngstown or East Liverpool areas, East Ohio College nursing graduates will gain an understanding of hospital operations, a network of healthcare professionals, and potential employment offers at these facilities.
