MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2002

The Sisseton-Wahpeton College on the Lake Traverse Reservation in South Dakota is reforming its nursing program in order to meet state standards.

The South Dakota Board of Nursing said the college must close its two-year program because graduates have consistently failed to meet minimum standards on licensing exams. The school plans on offering a bachelor's degree in the future and will offer a one-year licensed practical nurse degree in the meantime.
