The Austin Community College District is hosting a job fair for nursing students, giving them an opportunity to connect with recruiters from all major hospitals in the area.
 The fair is set for Tuesday, March 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at ACC’s Eastview Campus (3401 Webberville Rd., Room 8500). Nearly 200 people took part in last year’s nursing job fair.
 “This is a fast-growing field, and ACC enrolls some 300 associate degree nursing students and an additional 90 vocational nursing students each year to meet demand,” says Eileen Klein, executive dean of health sciences. “Our program produces graduates who are well-equipped to take on the challenges of the healthcare industry.”
 In the 2009-10 academic year, ACC graduated 271 associate degree nursing (RN) students and 62 vocational nursing students.
ACC’s nursing students consistently excel at national licensure exams. In the most recent testing year, 98 percent of ACC associate degree nursing graduates passed the licensure exam (October 2009-September 2010). Among vocational nursing graduates, the pass rate was 97 percent (January-December 2010).
