Nicole Sabourin with Carolinas College of Health Sciences visited 10/22/2009

     Today we were fortunate enough to have Ms. Nicole Sabourin with Carolinas College of Health Sciences visit with three seniors and one junior.  The discussion centered around the types of programs offered, scholarships, rigor of the programs, financial aid, the application process, etc.  The students presented many detailed questions.  The students learned how competitive the health care programs really are.  They also found out that the GPA (grade point average) is vital in the qualification process.
     Carolinas College of Health Science’s roots date back to the early 1940’s when hospitalbased
education was offered at Charlotte Memorial Hospital. In 1990, the college opened as an
institution of higher education and was incorporated as an owned subsidiary of the Charlotte Memorial
Hospital Authority, a quasi-public entity. Today it operates as a multi-program, regionally accredited
college supporting the nursing and allied health workforce needs of the greater Charlotte-Mecklenburg
area.
     Carolinas College of Health Sciences is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools to award the associate of applied science degree.
     To find out about health care careers and which schools across North Carolina offer which programs visit the North Carolina Health Careers website.

Thank you Ms. Sabourin for inspiring the students toward the health care field.
