Welcome to the Nursing Programs web page of Central Ohio
Technical College.
An education in nursing provides students with
extensive opportunities for employment. The Nursing Program at COTC is
designed to provide you with the necessary skills required for entry into the
nursing profession. Graduates not only join the workforce and become
productive upon graduation, but many continue their education to earn advanced
degrees.
The U.S. Department of Labor states that job opportunities for RNs in all
specialties are expected to be excellent. Employment of registered nurses is
expected to grow much faster
than average for all occupations through 2014, and, because the occupation
is very large, many new jobs will result. In fact, registered nurses are
projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations.
Thousands of job openings also will result from the need to replace experienced
nurses who leave the occupation, especially as the median age of the registered
nurse population continues to rise.
