Local high schools tour JSCC nursing facility

James Sprunt Community College (JSCC) hosted approximately 100 high school students from Duplin County to tour the updated nursing facility located in the Hoffler Building.

Attending students from Duplin County Early College, North Duplin, James Kenan, East Duplin, and Wallace-Rose Hill High Schools were given demonstrations of state-of-the-art simulation equipment by JSCC nursing instructors. JSCC recently received a Golden LEAF grant, Hyped for Healthcare, that helped purchase the equipment for the new nursing facility.

The students, who have expressed interest in the field of nursing, were provided time with a variety of faculty and staff members from campus to ask questions and explore career options. Tour leaders provided information to the students about the benefits of entering the health industry and joining the James Sprunt family. JSCC is grateful for the partnership with the Duplin County School System. Introducing students at an early age to the benefits of community college is a value for JSCC. 

JSCC is always looking for new and innovative ways to share how investing in our family results in sustainable careers. Enrollment for summer courses opens on April 1st. Opportunities to apply to JSCC nursing school are still available. For more registration information, please contact Meagan Turner at mturner@jamessprunt.edu.
