Many of the clinical programs offered by the College of Coastal Georgia School of Nursing and Health Sciences require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the College’s legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. Sometimes, these rules include vaccinations requirements. As always, the SONHS will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
“This eight-year accreditation is the highest decision that can be presented to a program,” said Dr. Lydia Watkins, Southeast Georgia Health Distinguished Chair and Dean of Nursing and Health Sciences at Coastal Georgia. “The decision demonstrates the quality of the nursing programs at the College of Coastal Georgia and sets the College up for continued excellence and growth in the nursing department.”
My journey in nursing has been shaped by the compassion and resilience of both my colleagues and students. It’s a testament to what the collective efforts of our nursing community can do. Together, we will ensure a safe, competent nursing practice where nurses can thrive and feel supported.
