Current CHAHEC Nursing Programs
Nursing Summit 2011 – eth'-ics
Date: May 30, 2012
Venue: Columbia-Greene Community College
The purpose of this program is to provide an educational forum for nurses, healthcare professionals, health professions educators and health professions students with an overview of ethics and how it pertains to medical treatment and end of life decision-making, as well as to provide insight of how differing perspectives on the part of the patient, their families and healthcare providers may impact the provision of care.
Nurse Mentoring Program
Catskill Hudson AHEC is currently working with Dutchess Community College's Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (DCC C-STEP) to provide mentoring services to DCC Nursing Students enrolled in their Associate Degree Nursing Program. For the second consecutive year, dedicated Nurse Mentors from U.S. Healthcare will provide mentoring services to these students. Because of the great need for mentoring services and the positive feedback received from the students who have benefited from this program, Catskill Hudson AHEC plans to expand these services to other nursing programs throughout our regional service area.
LPN Education Assistance Program
Catskill Hudson AHEC provides funding toward Board Certification fees for underprivileged nursing students currently attending one of the seven BOCES throughout our 11-county region.
