Nursing Student Handbook

Welcome to the EICC Nursing Program

Welcome to the Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC) Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) and Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) programs. As a nursing student, you will receive an education that will grow and develop your abilities and attitudes and prepare you to become an important member of the healthcare team.

EICC students can use this link to review the Student Handbook. By the nature of the nursing program, some supplemental information is necessary. This handbook will help you understand your role in the program and maintain the standards required to graduate.

The faculty, and your academic advisor, are here to help you reach your goals. Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance. Our program is approved by the Iowa Board of Nursing. 

Please sign the last page of this handbook and return it to your instructor. 

Sincerely,

EICC Nursing Faculty
