Only four of the 20 nursing classes offered in fall semester have available seating as of August 4
If registration data of August 4, 2021 from Yavapai Community College is any indication, the nursing program on the Verde Campus for fall 2021 is a smash hit. Data from the College’s web site indicate that 16 of the 20 nursing courses offered this fall are already filled to overflowing.
Of the remaining four classes with seats available, data indicates one class has one opening left, another four, while the two remaining classes are nearly half full. New modern training equipment, a modern facility, the pandemic, and outstanding faculty are all factors that have made the nursing program on the Verde Campus an enormous success.
One can’t help but recall the tentative decision by the Community College a few years ago to shutter most, if not all, of its nursing training on the Verde Campus and move it to Prescott Valley. Education advocates, former nursing alums, and others were able to stop that happening. Today, the registration data from the College shows how right Verde Valley citizens were to rise up and block the effort. Everyone in the Verde Valley can now clearly see the fruits of those past efforts to keep nursing training alive on the Verde Campus.
