Six nurses working for local hospitals have begun their studies as part of the inaugural RN-to-BS in Nursing program at King’s College.
The program was established at King’s in response to the Institute of Medicine’s recommendation that the RN workforce with bachelor’s degrees increase from 50 percent to 80 percent by 2020.
The coursework, which will focus on primary care, teaching and learning, leadership and management, and global health, is designed to allow current Registered Nurses with an associate or diploma degree an opportunity to further their education and increase their opportunities for career advancement.
