Lincoln County needs quality healthcare workers, and Oregon Coast Community College is answering the call. The Nursing & Allied Health department has opened its Nursing Program application for Fall 2023 and is seeking students to apply for this competitive program. The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Nursing Program is highly respected and supported within the community.
The nursing program has formed strong partnerships and employment opportunities with Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, Lincoln County Jail, Lincoln County Health and Human Services, Samaritan Evergreen Hospice, Signature Home Health, Siletz Clinic, Nestucca Valley School District, and Family Promise.
Clinical rotations are all held locally in Lincoln County. The College is increasing the pipeline for students to become healthcare workers, forming a strong healthcare infrastructure that has the capacity to care for all Lincoln County residents and visitors. Nursing is an excellent career choice that is fulfilling, well-paying, and in-demand. It provides stability
and the opportunity to care for others while giving back to the community.
The Fall 2023 cohort is limited to 30 students and the application process is highly competitive. Students from around the state are welcome to apply.
Registration will close Friday, March 31. Visit oregoncoast.edu/nursing-program for the online application.
