2022 Class of Practical Nurses complete their program
For 10 students at Bolivar Technical College, their dreams became a reality on December 18, 2022, as they graduated from the Practical Nursing (LPN) program! The commencement ceremony took place at Bolivar High School with friends, family, and BTC alumni celebrating the graduates. The Guest Speaker was Shawn Mock, LPN Program Coordinator; the Student Speaker was Madison Guill, LPN graduate; and the Invocation and Benediction were read by Cynthia Hignight and Adam Kinnard, LPN graduates.
The Practical Nursing students completed the immersive one-year program that equips students with skills and knowledge needed for a career in nursing. During their three semesters in the program, students were challenged and practiced their skills in a variety of settings. You might have even seen them at your facility for clinical rotations!
The Practical Nursing graduates are: (top row, left to right) Madison Guill, Cynthia Hignight, Rachael Hargus, Manesha Long, (middle row, left to right) Savannah Clair, Adam Kinnard, Chanceler Pemberton, (front row, left to right) Taylor Townsend, Brenna Horton, and Kylee Fredrickson.
These graduates are now taking the NCLEX and starting to work as LPNs. Some graduates are also choosing to further their education in the one-year RN Bridge program at BTC that begins in May. If you see these faces around, say hello and let them know you’re part of the BTC family too!
