Information Sessions and Application Workshops

Do you have questions about our programs? Wondering which program would be best for you? Group information sessions are offered periodically throughout the year which provide an overview of all COD nursing programs (CNA, LVN, RN, & LVN-RN), pre-requisite courses, admissions process, application, cost, etc. and a "question and answer" time.
