The Center for Nursing and Health Sciences at St. Louis Community College at Forest Park as it becomes the new front door to the campus. The center is the first new building constructed at the campus in nearly 20 years. Completed in 2019, it is a state-of-the-art learning environment featuring the latest technology that will help address the need for more skilled healthcare workers in the St. Louis region.
St. Louis Community College has developed strong partnerships with surrounding universities that provide students with the opportunity to enroll at STLCC and the university simultaneously. This dual admission program makes it possible for students to be jointly admitted to both institutions. It provides nursing students at STLCC with the opportunity to seamlessly complete a bachelor's degree through the university and provides students with access to resources at both institutions.
LPN Bridge is a course for LPN’s to allow them to bridge into an associate degree in the nursing program. Because LPN’s already have some of the same content that is covered in the first year (the first two semesters) of the 4-semester nursing program, the LPN Bridge course was developed to “bridge” or to cover the content from the first year of the program that LPN’s have not had. Students take one bridge course, NUR:160, and then they enter the third semester and finish along with the regular nursing students.
The Associate in Applied Science degree in nursing has accreditation from the following organizations:
