High school partnership puts nursing degrees in adults’ hands

It’s never too late to learn something new. You could become a dental assistant, get your CDL or even just learn how to make pasta as part of St. Johnsbury Academy’s Adult Education Program.

Now, a new skill is being offered and it could come with a new career.

Vermont has needed nurses for years. Sen. Bernie Sanders highlighted the problem and now thanks to money secured in part by Sen. Sanders, the St. Johnsbury Academy and the Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital and other NEK organizations are partnering to get nurses in the classroom and into scrubs faster than ever.

The St. Johnsbury Academy isn’t just for high schoolers, it’s for adults trying to bolster their education, too. Come this spring, a new partnership will allow those learners to get licensed in nursing to the degree of their choosing.
