Pima Community College is playing a critical role in addressing the looming nursing shortage in Arizona, where the state could face a deficit of up to 25,000 nurses by next year. The college is proactively combating this shortage by enhancing its nursing program to produce more well-trained nurses, equipped to meet the demands of the healthcare industry.Yolanda McCoy-Stokes, Associate Dean of Nursing at PCC, has been instrumental in these efforts.
The affordability of PCC’s program is another factor that sets it apart. Nursing student Madison Charles, who is in her third semester at PCC, chose the college for a career change due to its cost-effectiveness and community focus. 'PCC's program is about $17,000, whereas at a state university, it could be close to $60,000,' Charles explained.
