MITCHELL, S.D. – DWU’s Huron site announces openings in the nursing program for fall 2006. Students may complete the nursing program, pass the national licensing exam (NCLEX-RN) and begin practicing as a registered nurse in two years.

DWU’s Huron site limits class sizes to 24 students. All nursing, general education and support courses in the nursing curriculum are offered in Huron Towers or online. The nursing program is located at the Huron Towers, and clinical experiences are completed in Huron health care facilities.
