Students Recognized for Health Sciences Program Completion
Nash Community College held a Health Sciences Recognition Ceremony on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at 6:00 PM in Brown Auditorium. Students were honored for their completion of the academic and clinical work required to become medical assistants as determined by the American Association of Medical Assistants, and practical nurses as determined by the North Carolina Board of Nursing.
NCC began offering the Medical Assisting program in 2007 in response to the needs of the surrounding health care community and since that time the demand for qualified medical assistants has continued to grow.

“The work required for these diplomas is extensive. Since many of our students are non-traditional students – adults with families and part or full time jobs – time management skills are critical to success. I am continually in awe of what our students are able to balance. For many, it is the support and understanding of family and friends that make their success possible,” Nancy Worsinger, NCC Professor and Department Chair of Allied Health said.
The graduates are eligible to take the state or national exam that will earn them the respective credentials.
“This recognition is more than the completion of academic and clinical requirements. It signifies that these individuals are prepared, and can be trusted in patient care,” Worsinger said.
