The grades and recognition she has
earned while at RSC did not come easy.

third, full-time semester at RSC, received

All nursing students must par-
ticipate in laboratory simulations on
campus, but the majority of their
clinic experiences are done off cam-
pus in health care facilities in the
Oklahoma City area.
“Students do rotate through the
RSC Child Development Lab Center
for part of their pediatric rotation
and they participate in various health
fairs offered on the campus," Ray
said.
The nursing program is currently
accepting applications for fall 2006.
