Nursing students to learn online - Dave Dreeszen, Sioux City Journal
Some nursing students at Western Iowa Tech Community College will interact with their instructor and classmates without leaving homes this fall. A new program, the first of its kind in Iowa, will allow 16 practical nursing students to complete some of their coursework online. "They're not going to be on the college campus as much as the regular students,'' said Gloria Stewart, chair of Nursing and Allied Health at WITCC. "They'll spend one to two days a week here. The rest of the time, they're going to be out in cyberspace.'' Faced with lengthy waiting lists for nursing programs, the college decided to try the online option to get more students enrolled, said Dr. Verlyn Fick, vice president, Instruction and Student Services. Having students do some of their work off campus takes fewer classrooms and gives college officials more flexibility with its lab space.
