"The faculty, staff, and I want to thank the community for their continued support of our Nursing Programs," said Rhonda Brown, Interim Director of Nursing at College of the Siskiyous.

Then regrouping to retake their first semester coursework and clinical training with multiple layers of protocols and the threat of the virus disrupting their education again. We are so very proud of this group of LVN students. We heart fully thank our clinical partners, Fairchild Medical Center, Mercy Mt. Shasta, Shasta View Estates, Shady Creek Children's Center, and Shasta Cascade Clinics for making the past two semesters possible. I personally want to recognize our dedicated faculty for the heroic efforts and sacrifices they have made during this Pandemic. Thank you to Christina Brown BSN, RN; Nicki Campbell RN; Hallie Coppi MSN, RN; Kim Cowan, RN; Kathy Durett RN; Gabie Ellis BSN, RN; Abi McClain RN; Kelly Moser, RN; and Kim Parham MSN, RN."
