COLUMBUS, OH. – Hondros College of Nursing (HCN) announced the move of its Columbus-area campus to a new location at 1105 Schrock Road in Columbus. The campus, previously located in Westerville, will continue to enroll students in its Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and Practical Nursing (PN) Diploma programs to help address the current nursing shortage across Ohio and the United States. The campus will also offer the newly introduced Medical Assisting program.
“We are excited to move our Columbus campus to a location that is much more convenient for our students, right off right off 1-71 and 161 in the Busch Corporate Center,” said Harry Wilkins, Chief Executive Officer at Hondros College of Nursing. “Hondros is proud to expand our ability in the Columbus area to educate new nurses who can serve in important roles in our community's healthcare systems.”
