Porter and Chester - Hamden

Our Porter and Chester Institute Hamden students had an incredible time at last week’s Career Fair!

From networking with local employers to learning about exciting career opportunities, our students took important steps toward building their futures. Events like these give students the chance to connect with industry professionals, ask questions, and gain valuable insight into their future careers.

A huge thank you to all of the employers and community partners who joined us and supported our students’ success!

Today, we proudly celebrate National Student Nurses Day and recognize the hard work, compassion, and dedication of our Practical Nursing students at Porter and Chester Institute.


Your commitment to learning, caring for others, and preparing for a future in healthcare does not go unnoticed. Every clinical, every late-night study session, and every hands-on lesson is helping shape the next generation of nurses who will make a difference in their communities every single day.

We are incredibly proud of all you are accomplishing and can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make in the healthcare field. Keep pushing forward — your future is bright!

This week, our Porter and Chester Institute Waterbury and Hamden campuses celebrated National Nurses Week with coffee, donuts, and appreciation for our amazing nursing students.
From early mornings to long study nights, your dedication, compassion, and resilience do not go unnoticed. As we celebrate National Nurses Week and National Student Nurses Day, we honor the future nurses preparing to make a difference in healthcare and the lives of others every single day.
Thank you for your commitment, your passion, and the care you bring to the profession. The future of nursing is bright because of students like you!
