Twenty-two\u00a0 Greenfield Community College practical nursing students will be graduating in a ceremony to be held on Friday, June 25, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Leeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is the eighteenth graduating class of the program which prepares students to become Licensed Practical Nurses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Many in the class are non-traditional students who have balanced family and work responsibilities to successfully complete the program.\u00a0 Some are pursuing an opportunity for second careers; others are furthering their education in the nursing profession.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0It is the eleventh year the Practical Nursing Program has been at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.\u00a0 Classes are held at the Medical Center and clinical experiences take place at the Medical Center and several other local hospitals and nursing homes in Hampshire and Franklin Counties.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Graduates have successfully completed a full-time ten month program administered by Greenfield Community College.\u00a0 They are now eligible to complete a state licensure examination and to attain their goal of becoming licensed practical nurses.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Many of the graduates have been offered positions in long-term care facilities, physicians' offices and clinics, schools, correctional facilities and psychiatric settings.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The graduation program will include the awarding of certificates, a pinning ceremony, guest speakers and the presentation of awards in academic and clinical excellence.\u00a0 Also, on the occasion of her retirement, Susan F. Gusan will be recognized for 22 years of teaching excellence in practical nursing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr. Robert L. Pura, President of Greenfield Community College will make opening remarks and award certificates.\u00a0 Guest speaker is Kevin Mapel, Greenfield Community College Practical Nursing alumnus, class of 1995. \u00a0Student speaker is Maria E. Rivera.<\/p>\n
