Thank you for inquiring about nursing at Southeastern Illinois College. Nursing is a diverse, rapidly growing profession, and Southeastern Illinois College provides nursing students with a strong foundation in the basic concepts of nursing. The nursing profession is the number one occupation for employment growth projections for 2006-2016. Nurses are employed everywhere in our society: hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, hospices, home care, outpatient surgical centers, schools, industry, correctional institutions, private practice, judicial systems, and churches. If you are interested in a profession that provides you numerous opportunities to care for people in many different settings, as well as personal and professional growth, we urge you to consider a career in nursing. At Southeastern, the nursing faculty is readily available to assist students and is committed to nursing education. Southeastern Illinois College offers many support services to assist students in the nursing program.
