The Central Maine Medical Center College of Nursing and Health Professions recently welcomed 74 students to the nursing class of 2013. The students will attend classes on the Lewiston campus and at sites in Bridgton, Farmington, Machias and Rumford.
The Machias site, which is new this year, has eight students. The group includes two medical assistants, a doula, a certified nursing assistant with 32 years experience, a licensed veterinary technician, a home health CNA, an art teacher and a banker.
The college has provided distance-learning education in Farmington and Rumford for six years and in Bridgton for three years. The expansion of DLE to Machias is a result of the Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program Grant awarded to Axiom Technologies in Machias. The CMMC CONHP is a subrecipient of the $1.6 million grant. BTOP offers residents of Washington County the opportunity to pursue nursing education locally.
The college offers an associate in the applied science in nursing degree program. Program graduates who pass the National Council Licensure Examination become registered nurses. For more information about programs, visit www.cmmccollege.edu or call 795-2840.
