PIQUA — Edison State Community College’s associate degree nursing program has been granted a five-year approval by the Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN).

To receive approval, Edison State’s nursing program recently underwent a required survey visit, where an education regulatory surveyor met with students, faculty, program administrators and a representative of the controlling agency. The surveyor also conducted a tour of the program’s facilities, including the lab and simulation rooms.

Program records and other documents were also reviewed during the visit to ensure compliance. Upon completion of the visit, OBN reviewed the findings and determined that the program has met and maintained all requirements as specified.
