 Pam Reynolds, MN, MEd – Director
Contact me for information regarding: strategic/long range planning,
human resource/staff considerations, student documentation/tracking,
role with community organizations/educational institutions, needs assessment,
funding strategies, cooperative partnerships. I also work with educators
who emphasize career planning and provide them with information and
materials regarding health career education. Many educators across the
country are using the Faces of Opportunity
curriculum materials developed by SOWEGA-AHEC. In addition, I
coordinate a Georgia Board of Nursing-approved RN Reentry Program.
This Board requires 40 hours of relevant study and 160 hours of clinical
practice. This program is for nurses who are applying for
licensure by reinstatement or endorsement or those who would just like
to get back into skilled care. Please contact me if
you have any questions regarding any of our Health Career programs or
educational materials.
