Virginia Henderson Weber State College's Associate Degree Nursing program was founded in 1963 as one of the nation's first associate programs, and since that year has graduated 577 students. June 1972 will mark the completion of 105 hours of classwork and approximately 550 clinical hours of training at the McKay-Dee and St. Benedict's hospitals, Ogden Clinic, Gramercy School, and the Ogden-Weber Education Center. The Associate Degree program prepares a nurse technician to give patient centered nursing care, to work with pro-fessional nurses and other members of the health team in planning care of patients, to direct activities of others in giving the technical aspects of care.
