Nineteen CLTCC students complete first night PN Class at Huey P. Long Campus

WINNFIELD, La. (WNTZ) — Nineteen students have completed the first-ever evening Practical Nursing cohort at Central Louisiana Technical Community College’s (CLTCC) Huey P. Long Campus.

The program, which began in January 2023, concluded with a pinning ceremony in December 2024. Unlike the traditional 18-month daytime program, evening students attended classes three nights a week from 5 to 9 p.m.

“Providing an evening option gives opportunities to students who can’t attend day classes due to jobs or other obligations,” said Campus Dean and CLTCC Director of Adult Education Jeff Johnson.

Huey P. Long is the third CLTCC campus to offer an evening Practical Nursing program, joining Alexandria and Ferriday. Johnson credited CLTCC Dean of Nursing and Allied Health Mignonne Ater and lead instructor Melissa White for their efforts in launching the program.

“We just started our second evening class,” Johnson said. “We had great enrollment for the first and second cohorts, and we plan to continue offering the evening option.”

Graduates of the inaugural class include: Maegan Bell, Antonyia Bradford, Tamara Bradley, Alexia Breaux, Kaitlin Bryant, JaCari Burks, Molly Connor, Melissa H. Dorsey, Renika Gibson, Cassandra Holmes, Jakeela Humphery, Raven Martin, Megan Parker, Bria Pikes, Kaiesha Russell, Grace Smith, Rebecca Walker, and Dinaya Wiley.

Applications for the upcoming semester are now open. For more information, visit www.CLTCC.edu/apply, email info@cltcc.edu, or call 800-278-9855.
