The first 15 students to earn an associate degree in nursing graduated in 1963. In addition to the degree program, students today have the option of earning a certificate as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Simulation labs on campus and clinical rotations at Munson Medical Center complement the classroom education. Online classes are also available, increasing convenience to nursing students. In 2014, NMC earned accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing. In 2018, NMC graduated 29 nursing students. Through two University Center partners, Davenport University and Spring Arbor, students can go on to earn a bachelor of science in nursing degree. Find out more at nmc.edu/nursing N
