About this Program at SOMC (Southern Ocean Medical Center - formerly SOCH)

The program is designed so that all classroom and laboratories are delivered, when possible, within Southern Ocean Medical Center*. Online components to the didactic (classroom) portions of the entire nursing curriculum allow significant portions of the courses to be taught in a web-assisted manner, giving students major improvements in access and learning. This is a full-time program. It is recommended that students accepted into the program only work a maximum of 16 hours per week.

A hands-on healthcare background is required (**see below). Applicants must be working for at least six months.
