ONU nursing program makes its mark

Preparing students for their careers
Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, April 8, 2017

ONU's nursing program is making the grade in its ability to successfully prepare students for rewarding careers. RegisteredNursing.org recently ranked ONU’s nursing program as second among 84 programs in the state.

The ONU nursing program, which began in 2005, currently enrolls 121 students in the bachelor’s degree curriculum.

The ranking analyzes several factors and is based largely on first-time passage rates on the NCLEX-RN exam. College graduates need to pass the NCLEX exam to become practicing registered nurses (RN). At the time the analysis was conducted, 2014 was the most recent year in which passage rates were published by the state, according to the survey.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, April 7, 2017

The annual Kappa Alpha Theta Easter Egg Hunt for all local children will be held Sunday, April 9, at 12:30 p.m. at War Memorial Park...and the Easter Bunny will be there, too.

Children will be divided into three age groups: preschool, K-2, grade 3 and up.
A 'golden" egg will be hidden for each category. Those who find the "golden" will win a basket full of goodies. Youngsters may have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny.

The sorority has been hosting the event for more than a decade. It draws a large crowd of children each year. In case of inclement weather, the hunt will begin at noon at Affinity Commons on campus.
