Hondros College of Nursing announces new campus
COLUMBUS – To help address the current nursing shortage across Ohio and the U.S., Hondros College of
Nursing is planning to open a new campus in Akron. The first class of students will begin in the
Practical Nursing Diploma program in April at the campus located at 755 White Pond Drive.
Both the state of Ohio and the nation are facing a nursing shortage that is expected to continue for at
least the next eight years, the college said in a statement. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects
that there will be over 175,000 registered nursing job openings each year through 2029.
The new campus will be the seventh campus location for Hondros College of Nursing. The other campuses are
located near Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo; and Indianapolis. In addition to the PN
Diploma program, Hondros offers an Associate Degree in Nursing at five of its Ohio campuses, which leads
to an RN license once a graduate passes the NCLEX exam.
