Thc collcgc will offer the first two years of thc four-ycar degree program and the University of Northcrn I3ritish Co-
lunibia (LJNBC)the final two years. I Graduates can thcn go on to write csains to qualify for their registered nurse status. NWCC president Stephanie Forsyth said the program, which will takc in a new crop of students each ycar, will help fill aIFhronic registered nurse shortage at northwcstern hospitals and other health care facilities. :‘Thcrc’s not only a shortagi,-but the nursing population is aging,” she said. ’ Northwestern hospitals here and clsewhcrc ham relied on foreign rccruiting to help fill gaps. The program also fits a ccntral philosophy of‘ cspanding education programs forctliosc who live in the north, Forsyth added. This is about training pcoplc in thc north fer the north. So this program is great news for the collcgc and for thc northwest,” she said. ‘I’hc program will be taught by a niisturc of NWCC and UNBC instructors with practical training to be coordinatcd yith the Northcrn Health Authority which runs northcrn “hcalth care facilities. .. . Combined with the 23 student spaces in the collcgc’s licensed practical nursing program, thc introduction of the degree program mcans there will soon be 42 nursing spaces in Tcrrace, making it among the smalJcstccntrcs in H.C. to offer such a rangc of training. Skecna MLA Roger Harris said NWCC and CJNHC arc on their way to creating a centre 01’ health training csccllcncc in Terrace. “If you want to make education affordable, you bring it home and this is what’s happening hcre. This is the real stuff happening on the ground here,” he said. - Harris said thc placement here of two nursing programs now and thc planned arrival here in 18 months time of UNBC medical students for field cxpericncc will make the city stand out. “It is putting the city and the institutions on the map in B.C.,” the MLA continucd of thc cspanding health care programs. ‘”l’hcrc is also a vcry real eccnomic dcvclopment compo- nent for our community,” Harris added. “With this,’ there is ‘ no going backward.
