First Gwinnett Tech nursing grads earn diplomas
The first graduates of Gwinnett Technical College’s associate degree nursing program will receive their diplomas Thursday.
Thirty-one nursing graduates will join more than 550 other Gwinnett Tech students at the college’s commencement ceremony at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Gwinnett Arena in Duluth.
The college launched the registered nursing associate degree program in September 2009. The graduates will have to pass the National Council Licensure Examination for registered nurses to work as registered nurses. But 40 percent of the nursing graduates already have job offers.
