Cassville nursing program ranked second in state

March 3, 2021
Sheila Harris

    Crowder College’s Cassville RN nursing program was recently ranked number two in  Missouri by RegisteredNursing.Org, an organization which provides national data for students considering a career in nursing.
    “I wasn’t really surprised to receive the news,” said Sandra Wilson, Director of Nursing for all five of Crowder College’s nursing programs, “since the Cassville program has achieved a 100 percent pass rate for the third year in a row.”
    Wilson, who heads up five nursing programs for Crowder College - four RN programs and one LPN program - said she would like to see ratings given for the practical nursing program as well.
    “Students in the LPN program at our Nevada campus are also doing exceptionally well,” she said.
    The application window for Crowder College’s nursing programs in McDonald County and Nevada recently closed.
    Wilson wasn’t sure how COVID would affect the number of applicants for the next round of nursing classes, but discovered that the demand for their programs is remaining consistent.
    “COVID may have driven some (would-be) students away,” she said, “but I believe with the attention the news has given to nurses throughout the pandemic, others have seen the importance of the function of nurses, and it has drawn them toward a career in nursing.”
    Applications for Crowder College’s RN programs at the Cassville and Neosho campuses will be accepted from May 1 through September 1.
