Southern Oklahoma Nursing Education Center

The Southern Oklahoma Memorial Foundation (SOMF) awarded $5 million to Murray State College and its Foundation for the construction of the Southern Oklahoma Nursing Education Center (SONEC).

SONEC will house a number of opportunities for healthcare training from RN to APRN in Ardmore, Oklahoma, thanks to our educational partners: SouthernTech, AirEvac, University of Oklahoma and Langston University.

It will provide rural students with opportunities to explore a range of healthcare professions. This access will aid in the solution to the nursing shortage for southern Oklahoma and North Texas. Workforce partners like Mercy Hospital are already hiring Murray State graduates at high rates.
