Whether it’s helping someone recover from illness or teaching the community about healthy living, nurses are at the heart of it all, making sure their community gets the best care possible.
As a nurse, don’t just administer treatments or medications – you’re a true advocate for your patients’ physical, mental and emotional well-being. You observe, assess and record everything happening with your patients, which helps doctors make informed decisions.
We value hands-on experience at OCtech. You’ll train on campus in our state-of-the-art simulation lab and 29-bed skills lab before taking your skills into real-world clinical settings at hospitals and medical facilities.
*All students interested in a nursing program other than our Certified Nursing Assistant certificate must first apply for our Pre-Nursing program (ADN or LPN). Direct admissions to the degree program will be considered after your application is received.
