Nursing school plans open house

LEWISTON — The Central Maine Medical Center College of Nursing and Health Professions will host an open house on November 3 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The event will feature tours of the college’s Lewiston campus and demonstrations of nursing and medical imaging simulation technology used to provide a hands-on educational experience.

Available at the event will be information about academic programs, general education course offerings, financial aid, the admissions process, and student support services. A student panel will be on hand to answer questions.

Participants at the open house will have an opportunity to learn about the new Pre-Health Professions Career Track being offered at the college. This option outlines a student’s path towards acceptance into one of the degree programs by strengthening their general education portfolio.

Information will also be available on the certified nurse’s assistant (CNA) course that will be offered starting in January. This one semester course, which concludes with the state certification examination, serves as a gateway to the healthcare field for many students.

The CMMC College of Nursing and Health Professions is located at 70 Middle Street in Lewiston. More information about the CMMC College of Nursing and Health Professions is available at www.cmmccollege.edu.
