Nursing program to host informational seminars

   The nursing faculty at Missouri State University-West Plains have scheduled several informational seminars for area residents interested in applying to the university’s Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree program for the fall 2011 semester.
    The seminars are free and will provide information on nursing as a career, educational preparation for nursing, and a description of the classroom and clinical components of the Missouri State University-West Plains nursing program.  A question and answer session will follow the presentation at each seminar.  No appointment or pre-registration is necessary to attend.
    Seminars for those interested in the ASN Regular Track and LPN-to-RN Track programs are set for 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 15; 3 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 26; 3:30 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 11; 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 4; and 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 6, 2011.  All seminars will be held in Kellett Hall Room 101.
    Nursing faculty also noted a change in the deadline for applying to the program beginning with the 2011 class.  The date, they said, has been moved from March 1, 2011, to Feb. 1, 2011.  Due to the volume of admission applications being processed at that time of the year, a change in the deadline was needed to ensure accuracy and fairness in the admissions and application process, they explained.
