New Online RN to BSN Program Launches
In order to meet the increasingly complex demands of today's health care environment, many healthcare agencies prefer or require a minimum of a bachelor's degree for their nursing staff. Current estimates predict that in the next decade the U.S. will begin to experience one of the worst shortages of registered nurses (RNs) in the nation’s history. Unfortunately, many campus-based nursing schools are wait listing or turning away thousands of qualified applicants due to critical shortages of of nurse educators, lack of clinical sites, and budget constraints.
Fortunately a new online program has just launched that will help working registered nurses keep up-to-date with the educational credentials they need to stay competitive in today's job market..
