The South Suburban College Nursing Program will be hosting an Open House for the college’s new Simulation Nursing Lab on Monday, Nov. 24 from 10 am - 2 pm. The new Simulation Lab is located in Room 4228 on the main campus in South Holland. The Open House will feature SSC’s new family of high-tech simulation mannequins: Hal, Noelle and her baby. Special Simulation demonstrations will be held at 10:30 a.m. with adult Hal, followed by the birth of Noelle’s baby at 12 pm, and lastly five-year old Hal at 1 pm. Come and see how the SSC Nursing Program can simulate real life medical events. The event is open to the public and light refreshments will be served.
SSC offers an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program that prepares nursing graduates to take the National Council of Licensure Examination (NCLEX), which qualifies the graduates to become a Registered Nurse. The curriculum provides students with basic knowledge of nursing theory and practice and enhances the critical thinking skills of nursing graduates to meet the demands of today's complex healthcare environment. The ADN Program at SSC is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) through 2012 and is approved by the State of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations (IDFPR).
The Practical Nursing program provides students with basic knowledge of nursing theory and practice. It prepares nursing graduates to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN). The PN program at SSC is also accredited by the NLNAC and approved by the IDFPR.
SSC has experienced a resurgence of interest in nursing in response to a current nursing shortage. The shortage can be attributed to several reasons including population growth, an increase in job opportunities for women, and an aging workforce. These issues continue while the majority of nurses are retiring and healthcare opportunities are expanding. Therefore, the nursing professions have already seen significant salary increases and in many cases, sign-on bonuses.
In addition to the RN and LPN options, SSC offers a Nurse Assistant Training program that is approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). It prepares the student to assist RNs and LPNs as an integral member of the health care team in a variety of health care settings. Students learn the twenty-one basic skills in nursing which include, but are not limited to, how to transfer, position, dress, ambulate residents in nursing homes, and how to perform range-of-motion exercises. They also learn how to care for cognitively impaired residents (those who have problems with thinking and memory). Upon successful completion of the program the individual is eligible to take the State of Illinois Nursing Assistant Competency Examination which certifies them to work as Nursing Assistants in the State of Illinois.
South Suburban College is located at 15800 S. State St., South Holland. For more information about the Nursing Program, contact Marjorie Roache at 708-596-2000 ext. 2550.source
