\n<\/TABLE>The start of classes on Monday ushered in the inaugural group of students at the UNMC College of Nursing Northern Division in Norfolk.<\/p>\n

The division, which along with the Northeast Community College’s nursing programs, is in the J. Paul and Eleanor McIntosh College of Nursing<\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>Riley Ohde of Atkinson is one of 32 students enrolled in the UNMC’s Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) program in Norfolk. The new division adds a great deal of convenience to her pursuit of a nursing degree. <\/p>\n

“I am very excited to attend a great nursing school in a small town. If the new UNMC division had not been built in Norfolk, I would have had to travel much farther away for my BSN or stop my education after my associate’s degree.”<\/p>\n
