Unique program helps NJ nursing students earn degrees

Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, May 14, 2007

Got a free day? That's all you'll need to earn your nursing degree from Ocean County College in Toms River, NJ, thanks to the school's One Day Per Week Nursing Program.

The four-semester program delivers classroom, lab, and clinical experiences in one day a week, and supplements learning with online lessons and taped class sessions that can be accessed on a student's own schedule. To enroll, students need all the technological capabilities-home computer, Internet access, ability to play CD-ROMs and DVDs-that are used in the class.

The program, which will accept 60 students this year, targets individuals whose time and family commitments would otherwise prevent them from earning a nursing degree.
