Oglala Lakota College Department of Nursing

Oglala Lakota College Department of Nursing Welcome to Oglala Lakota College Department of Nursing. Nursing offers a wide variety of opportunities for those who choose to make it a career.

The University of South Dakota operated a satellite-nursing program at Pine Ridge from 1972 to 1984 and at Rosebud from 1972 to 1983. In 1986, Oglala Lakota College received approval from the South Dakota Board of Nursing to operate its own nursing program and provide individuals with the opportunity to earn an Associate of Arts Degree in Nursing. Upon completion of the curriculum, the student is

eligible to take the National Licensing Examination (NCLEX) for licensure to practice as a Registered Nurse. Designed to meet the needs of adult learners, the program can be completed in three-four years.

On behalf of the Nursing Class of 2026, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Pine Ridge College Center staff. Your kindness and willingness to help us raise funds for our board fees and pinning ceremony truly meant more to us than words can express.

As nursing students balancing rigorous schedules, long hours, and constant demands, being met with such understanding and generosity was incredibly meaningful. Your support reminded us that we are not walking this journey alone.

The compassion you showed reflects the very heart of our Lakota values-generosity, community, and lifting one another up. In our culture, acts of kindness speak loudly, and what you did is a true example of how Native people care for one another and stand together in times of need. Your action’s honored who we are, not just as students, but as Native people rooted in strong traditions and shared values.

We are beyond thankful for your time, support, and belief in us. Your generosity will stay with us as we move forward into our nursing careers, and we carry this example of kindness with us as we continue to serve others.
