Welcome to the Connors State College Department of Nursing. This associate degree program began in Warner, OK in 1984 with the admission of 20 students. Since that time, we have been very successful and extended the program to include the Muskogee campus and our program is the #8 ranked program in the state.The Nursing Program consolidated to one Muskogee campus in 2009. In late 2009, the program moved to Connors West Campus in the Nursing and Allied Health building (NAH). We are currently admitting 48 students in August and in January. We are also accepting 30 students each Fall at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah. For information on admission and curriculum, and for an application, see Traditional Nursing Program Advisement Material. Connors also has a Career Ladder program for LPN’s and Paramedics. Career Ladder students who meet admission criteria are allowed to enter the program beginning with a transition course (see Career Ladder Advisement Material) offered in a Spring and Fall entry. The success of this program is related to several factors: To begin with, the faculty are excellent and offer a wide variety of expertise in the nursing field (see Meet the Faculty). The support course faculty do a wonderful job of preparing students for the nursing program, and administrators are very supportive. Small class size allows for more individualized instruction than is afforded in larger colleges and universities. The curriculum is designed to move from simple-to-complex. The curriculum is tried and proven, and is evaluated on a regular basis for accuracy and currency of content. The school has an excellent relationship with the clinical facilities, so that students are able to gain a variety of valuable hands-on experiences. From the first semester of the program through the last, students are prepared for the NCLEX-RN through application-style testing. Progress is benchmarked at intervals with exams provided by Kaplan Nursing Through this process, deficiencies are identified and remediated so that students are continually building a foundation for the next level. For information related to admission and progression, see the Nursing Student Handbook.

The Occupational Therapy Assistant program is offered through a partnership between Indian Capital Technology Center and Connors State College. Students enrolled in this career major will experience challenging coursework while learning occupational therapy assistant theory, practice and critical thinking skills. Fieldwork opportunities are designed to develop professional behavior, observation skills, a foundation for critical inquiry, and synthesis of knowledge to entry level occupational therapy intervention. Treatment focuses will include a variety of physical and psychosocial dysfunctions across the lifespan. The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program prepares the student as an occupational therapy assistant who will receive an Associate of Applied Science degree through Connors State College. Graduates may then apply to take the National Certification Exam, to be administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual would be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), and would request, in writing from the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, an application for state licensure. Classroom hours for technical course work at ICTC are generally Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Class and fieldwork hours may vary and the potential exists for some limited learning opportunities that can only be offered during evenings or weekends. In such cases, students are given as much advanced notice as possible. The technical training program is approximately twelve months in length. Classes begin in August. The instructional format of the technical coursework is lecture with hands-on / interactive activities, laboratory and fieldwork activities. Students will be assigned and be required to travel to fieldwork sites in several locations throughout the technical training experience. Students will be concurrently enrolled at ICTC and CSC while completing technical course work. CSC will be responsible for developing degree plans and performing degree checks. ICTC and CSC will work collaboratively to assist students in meeting general education and technical coursework required for graduation.
