NURSING HOME WEEK PROMPTS
IOWA LAKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO THANK
ADMINISTRATORS
Officials at Iowa Lakes Community College are
taking the opportunity to thank area nursing
home administrators during National Nursing Home
week.
Over the years, the long standing Health Care
Administration Program has educated hundreds of
students to become nursing home administrators.
A key part to that education is an opportunity
to train under the tutelage of an experienced
nursing home administrator.
“This week gives us a chance to thank our area
nursing homes and preceptors who have provided
an excellent educational environment for our
future nursing home administrators,” said
Marlene Donovan, Professor and Coordinator of
the Health Care Administration Program. “Without
the help and support of the preceptors, the
program would not be possible.”
Iowa Lakes has offered the weekend Health Care
Administration Program at the Spencer Campus
since 1971. Coursework takes four semesters –
and students can enter the program at any
semester.
“Over the years, the graduates have found
outstanding employment opportunities with
excellent salaries,” Donovan added.
The job outlook continues to look promising.
“The aging population of Iowa continues to grow
which provides numerous jobs for those involved
in this compassionate career,” Donovan said.
Individuals who have excellent management skills
and possess a passion for the well being of the
elderly will succeed in this job.
Those interested in knowing more about this
career may call Professor Donovan at (712)
362-7141 ext. 637 or 1-877-807-9585.
