SGTC Practical Nursing Advisory Committee Meets for Spring Semester

Posted on

South Georgia Technical College’s (SGTC) practical nursing advisory committee met recently on the college’s Americus campus to discuss the current state of the program and the industry as a whole. The six members met in a McClain Building classroom to discuss the topics over breakfast.

The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Tech faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the college’s program. SGTC’s Americus campus nursing instructors Jennifer Childs and Christine Rundle provided the committee with updates and information about program changes, enrollment, community activities, and student news.

The advisory committee members provided information to SGTC faculty and staff about suggested improvements in curriculum, new training opportunities that are available in the marketing field, new technology, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation.

Members present at the advisory committee meeting included: Debra Mims of Ethica, Debra Webb of the Lillian Carter Center, Tammi Johnston of Phoebe Sumter Medical Center and SGTC’s WIOA program director Sandhya Muljibhai. SGTC dean for academic affairs Vanessa Wall and also attended the meeting to provide an administrative update.

The advisory committee is a crucial link that provides an avenue for South Georgia Tech instructors to learn about changing conditions or technology in the workplace that can then be passed along to students that will enable them to be fully prepared upon graduation.
