PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)- A partnership between Lake Area Technical College and Capital City Campus in Pierre allows people interested in earning their Licensed Practical Nursing degree to do that without having to be on LATC’s campus in Watertown.

Capital City Campus Executive Director Laurie Gill says students in the LPN program can be full or part-time and can work at their own pace.

Gill says nursing students receive their hand-on experience in Pierre.

Gill says their nursing lab is getting remodeled later this year.

The Capital City Campus website says the LPN students have a nearly 100% placement rate after graduation.
