ELLISVILLE – Twenty-five graduates of the Jones College Associate Degree Nursing program are entering the nursing profession at a time when demand has never been greater. During the Pinning and Commencement Ceremony, A.D.N. Program Director, Mike Cummings stated, “These graduates will fill an important role in the care of our citizens at a time when the population’s need for medical care is also growing.”
Class President, Shelby Csaszar Littleton of Hattiesburg will start her nursing career at Gulfport Memorial Hospital on their Progressive Care Unit, noting she feels Jones College prepared her well for the profession.
“I started the A.D.N. program in August 2021, and it’s crazy to think that nearly two years have come and gone in the blink of an eye. It’s no secret that nursing school is tough, but I truly believe that Jones’ A.D.N. program is led by some of the most competent and caring instructors that prepared us not only for our licensure board exams, but also for real world nursing. I have learned so much from my instructors in both the classroom and clinical setting, and I believe I will be a better nurse in the very near future because of attending the A.D.N. program here at Jones,” said Csaszar.
