Nicole Burchett, MSN, RN, CNE, associate professor of nursing at Big Sandy Community and Technical College, has been granted the Certified Nursing Educator Certification. Burchett, of Paintsville, has worked at BSCTC for eight years. She said, “I think I speak for all faculty when I say that we want to position ourselves to do everything we can to ensure that our students are successful. This not only happens in the classroom, but we follow many of our graduates throughout their career.” Burchett also said she felt the certification validates her commitment to the students and the program.
