Nursing HHP Style
Nursing is a challenging career that offers many opportunities for personal and professional growth over a life-time. The Connecticut Community College Nursing Program [CT-CCNP] offers new students and those seeking a career change an entry into the nursing field as Registered Nurses who are eligible for employment in a variety of healthcare settings.
HHP gives place to the CT-CCNP curriculum; each Spring our 1st year nursing students study at the Isham Terry House while 2nd year nursing students study at the Wadsworth Atheneum.
