The college has three nursing certificates offered only online that Campbell said would not have been able to exist without online classes. “There’s not a huge need for forensic nurses in our particular area, but nationally and internationally, there’s a lot of potential there,” Campbell said. “By going online, we’ve been able to market to nurses nationally and internationally.
