Thirty-four new nurses recently graduated from Baton Rouge General’s School of Nursing (SON), joining the nurses who have completed BRG’s program since 1984.
During the Oct. 28 ceremony held at Jefferson Baptist Church, the graduates received their diplomas after completing all required nursing courses and hands-on experience with seasoned practitioners during clinical rotations. After receiving their diplomas, graduates take the registered nurse license exam (NCLEX-RN) to be licensed by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN).
Most of BRG’s new graduates begin their careers at Baton Rouge General in telemetry, oncology, and on medical and surgical units.
