Eastern Suffolk BOCES students in the Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program participate in clinical rotations as they learn about pediatric nursing. During the three-week course, they study the basic principles of growth and development to the prevention and treatment of childhood health issues. The Premm Learning Center (PLC) in Oakdale and the Jefferson Academic Center (JAC) in Port Jefferson welcomed the interns who had the opportunity to observe and participate in activities in the classrooms and school nurse offices.
“This experience for nursing students is very educational and rewarding,” said Administrative Coordinator of Health Careers for Eastern Suffolk BOCES and Registered Nurse Debra Epilone.
