Established in 2003, Jersey College is a nursing school with five locations in New Jersey and Florida. It offers a Practical Nursing or LPN Program, and a Registered Nurse Program with a generic track and an LPN to RN Bridge track. The college’s mission is “to bridge the labor gap occurring in demand occupations and to train competent professionals who are well prepared to enter the job market.” Jersey College is licensed and accredited in New Jersey and Florida and has produced over 2,000 nursing graduates (2014). == History == Established in 2003, Jersey College nursing school was founded in New Jersey by Greg Karzhevsky and originally called The Center for Allied Health & Nursing Education. The aim of the institution was to develop highly trained and skilled nurses to work at Loving Care Agency, New Jersey's largest home care agency, run by the Karzhevsky family. The agency originally employed over 600 registered nurses and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and provided pediatric services to medically fragile children. In 2004, The Center was approved by the New Jersey Board of Nursing to offer a Practical Nursing Program. The Center expanded its student body and increased its staff of instructors and administrators. In 2007, following its national accreditation from The Council on Occupational Education and approval from the United States Department of Education, the school opened a second campus in Tampa, FL. The South Jersey campus in Ewing, NJ opened shortly after in 2009. The school was awarded approval for a Professional Nursing Program in 2010 and opened the Jacksonville campus. The Fort Lauderdale campus was created in 2012. In November of that year, the school received approval from the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education and the New Jersey Board of Nursing to offer a Registered Nursing Program with an Associate Degree.〔http://www.state.nj.us/highereducation/colleges/schools_sector.shtml〕 The Center for Allied Health and Nursing Education changed its name to Jersey College to coincide with the pursuit of higher education opportunities. The college has produced more than 1,700 graduates in the nursing field. In July 2014, the Jersey College campus at Tampa, Florida expanded to a 40,000 square foot facility in Sabal Park, that includes two floors of observation rooms, computer labs, simulation labs, classrooms, a library, and a cafeteria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jersey College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
