| a new four-year nursing program at Manatee Community College
|

A paperwork glitch that could have jeopardized the start of a new four-year nursing program at Manatee Community College has been resolved.
A day after the Herald-Tribune reported that MCC might have to push back the program's start date until 2011, state regulators responded by easing their paperwork requirements to keep the school on pace to begin enrolling students next fall.
"I think we'll be in pretty good shape now," said MCC President Lars Hafner.
Although the school had completed a required needs assessment and lined up community support for a bachelor's degree program in nursing, MCC had missed a June deadline to submit a "letter of intent." Hafner said part of the reason for the missed deadline was that MCC was in transition after getting a new president.
The two-year community college could have been forced to wait until 2010 for the state to even review its proposal for the four-year program. That had political leaders from the region up in arms, which resulted in a lot of long distance behind-the-scenes political wrangling on Tuesday.
Florida Education Commissioner Eric Smith, who is spending the holidays in Seattle, called state Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, who is spending the holidays in Iowa, to assure him the state would not so strictly enforce the rules that it could damage what appears to be a big need for the local economy.
Bennett said the one thing the government has to do in the current economic environment is to reduce the obstacles to create more jobs. He said the nursing program is an example where dozens of workers could enter the economy each year if the government does not get in the way.
Despite the crumbling economy, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the number of nursing jobs in the United States will continue to grow through 2012.
Enrollment in the MCC program is expected to be between 50 and 75 students per year.
Although MCC is primarily a two-year school, it is among a growing number of schools petitioning the state to offer four-year programs, especially with state universities limiting their enrollment in the face of reduced state funding. source
