The ceremony honored 11 graduates from the MTC Moultrie and Tifton Campus Practical Nursing programs, which require five terms of in-class study and many hours of hands-on clinical experience in area hospitals and physicians’ offices. The graduates will sit for the Georgia Board of Examiners of Licensed Practical Nurses exam within the next month to become eligible to be employed as nurses.
