Collins Career Center is committed to providing excellence in nursing education. Since the nursing faculty believe learning is a dynamic, life long process, the curriculum places importance on the need for continued growth in one’s nursing practice. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to pursue a career in the field of practical nursing while building a foundation to enable students to continue their education.
