Filed under:

The St. Kitts-based International University of Nursing (IUON) has announced the first of many U.S. affiliations with Kilgore College of Texas.

Kilgore College is a two-year, comprehensive public community college offering post secondary educational opportunities. It offers an Associate Degree in Nursing which is accredited by the Board of Nurse Examiners (BNE) and the National League of Nurses (NLN), as well as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Texas Higher Education Co-ordinating Board.

“Students of the International University of Nursing will have the opportunity to complete their second year of study at Kilgore College,” said the Dean, Dr. Linda A. Simunek.

The US$10 million International University of Nursing just outside Camps in St. Kitts, will welcome it`s inaugural class in May with students from Barbados, Africa, India, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, the United States, the Philippines, Jamaica and St. Kitts and Nevis.

Dr. Simunek said the St. Kitts Campus integrates audiovisual and computer technology in all the academic facilities including classrooms, laboratories, library, and the learning resource center. Faculty members, recruited primarily from the United States, dedicate 100 percent of their time to teaching.

Students will spend three semesters here and then return to one of the affiliate schools in the U.S. to complete their clinical and didactic education. Graduates receive their degree from both the U.S. school and IUON. This allows students to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam and continue on with their education towards a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing.

According to Dr. Simunek nursing is a wonderful field, with unlimited opportunities - and tremendous possibilities for changing lives and the International University of Nursing welcomes individuals who wish to make a difference in the world by becoming nurses.

“At the International University of Nursing, we believe that it is imperative to provide an education that prepares students for working in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, private clinics and as visiting nurses,” she said.
