Expansion of Nursing Education at Western Nevada College's Fallon Campus
December 15, 2025 - 18:27
Western Nevada College (WNC) is set to enhance nursing education opportunities in rural Nevada with a significant renovation of the Piñon Building on its Fallon campus. This initiative aims to address the growing demand for qualified nursing professionals in the region, ensuring that residents have access to essential healthcare training.
The renovation will provide state-of-the-art facilities and resources for nursing students, including modern classrooms, simulation labs, and collaborative spaces designed to foster effective learning. With the expansion, WNC aims to increase enrollment in its nursing programs, which are crucial for meeting the healthcare needs of the local community.
WNC's commitment to expanding nursing education is a vital step in supporting the workforce in rural areas, where access to healthcare can be limited. By investing in education and training, the college is not only enhancing career opportunities for students but also contributing to the overall health and well-being of the community in Fallon and surrounding areas.
