Success Story: Associate of Science in Nursing

Shernette Parkinson one of our many Nursing successful graduates stated “I got great hands-on experience working in the labs on mannequins and practicing with IVs. Also, learned a lot during my externship at a medical center. Now I have a job at the same unit where I did my externship! City College changed my life. Without my education, I wouldn’t have a great nursing career right now.”
