FLCC celebrates fall 2025 nursing grads

FLCC's registered nursing degree program can be completed in two years of full-time study.

Finger Lakes Community College celebrated 16 mid-year graduates of its registered nursing program on Dec. 19.

For most of its history, FLCC graduated nursing students in the spring. The opening of the Sands Family Center for Allied Health at the main campus in 2022 provided expanded capacity for a mid-year class. The first group of students to start mid-year, in January 2023, graduated in December 2024.

This year's fall graduates will be heading to hospitals and medical practices across the region, including Rochester General Hospital, Golisano Children’s Hospital, Thompson Hospital, Strong Memorial Hospital, Upstate Hospital, and Seneca Ridge Dialysis Center.
