The 46th class of Southern State Community College’s practical nursing program was honored during a special recognition ceremony held March 28 on the college’s Central Campus in Hillsboro. Twenty-four students were recognized for completion of the college’s one-year certificate program.

The most recent graduates include Brandon Alexander of Winchester, Chachayta Clouser of Bainbridge, Shannon Cross of Greenfield, Natalie Dunn of Washington Court House, Kasey Durbin of Batavia, Michael Germann of Sardinia, Felicia Hedrick of Hillsboro, Krystin Hunter of West Union, Cheryl Kovach of New Holland, Brittany Lewis of Hillsboro, Brittany McKinzie of Hillsboro, Rose Pence of Sabina, Laurie Pitman of Blanchester, Cecilia Proffitt of Amelia, Melissa Reed of Washington Court House, Kristina Regan of Morrow, Kristie Scheek of Ripley, Stephanie Shoemaker of Wilmington, Susanne Shular of Winchester, Amber Smith of Washington Court House, Brooke Stingley of Waynesville, Heather Totten of Wilmington, Shelby Watters of Hillsboro, and Heather Weaver of Mowrystown.

The practical nursing program at Southern State is a certificate program combining lecture classes, lab practice and clinical experience designed to prepare the graduate to be eligible to complete the licensure examination (NCLEX-PN) to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. Students have the option of completing the first-year Practical Nursing Program and, at that point, can choose to stay and complete the second-year Associate Degree Program, or to test for licensure and begin work as an LPN.
