More seats equals more nurses!
June 1, 2022Many of you are probably experiencing a number of challenges from having a shortage of nurses in your facility. As a college, we want to do our part in helping fill those positions, so we applied for an increased number of seats in our Professional Nursing (RN) program! We’re thrilled to announce, the Missouri Board of Nursing has approved 31 additional seats for students in the RN program beginning in August 2022. The additional seats will allow for a potential 62 nursing students to graduate every May, beginning in May 2024.
