The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth is working to address the nursing shortage in Texas.
Applications for their nursing programs are now open to nursing professionals who want to advance their career.
“Our first two programs will address the up-skilling of licensed nurses,” Founding Dean Cindy Weston said. “Those who are prepared at the associate degreed level can apply to our program to receive their bachelor’s degree in nursing.”
Nursing students will start classes in August. People should visit https://nursingcas.org/ or www.unthsc.edu/nursing to apply.
Below are the two programs offered:
· RN to BSN − This program is for registered nurses with an associate degree who want to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Students can earn their degree in two semesters after completing 30 credit hours. All theory coursework for the RN to BSN will be delivered online with occasional immersive clinical experiences provided at HSC’s on-campus Regional Simulation Center.
· MSN in Nursing Practice Innovation − The degree is for nursing professionals who already have their BSN. It will incorporate five, 16-week semesters and condensed 10-week summer semesters. A part-time option also is available, extending the program into seven semesters. Students will have the flexibility to pursue certification aligned with their chosen area of specialization.
