Bottineau, ND, July 17, 2024 – The Dakota Nursing program with Dakota College at Bottineau pinned five Practical Nurse graduates in Valley City and 17 Practical Nurse graduates in Minot last week. Dakota College at Bottineau’s practicum is a member of the Dakota Nursing Program, a consortium of community college nursing departments that work together to offer a common curriculum for a Practical Nursing Certificate and an associate in applied science in nursing. 
 

With programs in Bottineau, Minot and Valley City, Dakota College at Bottineau works to meet North Dakota’s growing need for nurses by providing these degree programs at three locations. The program collaborates with medical centers across the State of ND where students gain practical experience. The nursing program has proven successful, as graduates consistently score higher than the national average on exit exams. Students will take their National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) exam to become licensed to begin their career as Licensed Practical Nurses.
