Lake Region State College’s Nursing program will hold an open house at the Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd in New Rockford. The open house will take place June 17 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Vance Anderson Hall at the Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd, which is located at 1226 1st Avenue North.
During the open house, a signing ceremony also will take place, as Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd becomes the latest industry partner with the LRSC Apprenticeship program.
The nursing program and apprenticeship program at Lake Region State College (LRSC) have collaborated to create a nursing apprenticeship program. This program is designed to meet workforce needs in North Dakota. The North Dakota Board of Nursing granted approval for the apprenticeship program as an innovative educational model/approach.
The apprenticeship has ground rules agreed upon with the employer that provides a structured wage, set step increases, and opportunity for continued employment at the completion of the apprenticeship.
The combination of academic program requirements plus the apprenticeship (on-the-job learning, a mentor relationship with a staff nurse, and eventually a Department of Labor certificate of completion) provides a rigorous and sturdy base that socializes students to the nursing profession and prepares them for an in demand and challenging career.
Lake Region State College offers degrees in practical nursing and associate degree nursing (2-year RN). Graduates of the LRSC Nursing program also are able to transfer on to continue their bachelor’s degree (BSN). LRSC also offers certified nursing training. The college also has a paramedic to nurse program and recently added nurse apprenticeships. Applications are currently being accepted for Fall 2021.
