Nursing Program Meeting Planning

Confederation College and Lakehead University are looking at bringing back a community-based nursing program to the College's campus in Fort Frances.

They're holding an information session at the college today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to determine interest.

The program allows students to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from LU through the college campus.

In June, five students from the Rainy River district graduated from a four-year pilot.

The program is expected to be offered again in 2010.
