据博士说. 考特尼宾利, 澳门大学教务长兼学术事务高级副总裁, faculty have been working to expand programs in health professions and grow existing hallmark programs that have long thrived on campus.
“We are thrilled to now support the preparation of nurse leaders in central Alabama,” Bentley said. “We are confident that our nursing graduates will positively impact their home communities by providing high quality health care underscored by an ethic of care predicated on interprofessional learning and clinical competency.”
The pre-licensure BSN track is for students who are not already licensed registered nurses, preparing them to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination-RN (NCLEX-RN) after graduation. Students will learn to apply their classroom studies to their nursing professional practice with the help of dedicated faculty with small class sizes (faculty-to-student ratio is 1:24 in a classroom). They will also have opportunities to engage in simulation lab experiences and complete their clinical experiences at hospitals, 周边地区的诊所和各种社区机构.
“This is an exciting time for Montevallo and our health care community,霍莉·迪恩说, 雪花石膏市谢尔比浸信会医疗中心的首席执行官. “Montevallo has worked hard to make this program a reality to meet the needs of our community, 我们很高兴能成为这段旅程的一部分. It will be amazing to see aspiring nurses fulfill their dreams at Montevallo and we are hopeful many will join our team at Shelby going forward.”
UM’s pre-licensure BSN program is a specialized admission program, which means admission to UM does not guarantee admission to the Nursing Program . Applicants must first be admitted to UM through the Office of Admissions prior to applying to the BSN program. Applications for the pre-licensure track will be open early June through July 8.
The RN to BSN track is for students who are licensed in Alabama as a registered nurse and have their associate’s degree in nursing. The baccalaureate curriculum is designed to prepare students for work within the growing and changing health care environment. 这个项目 is a three-semester hybrid format with required integrated clinical practice experiences that may be completed in approved clinical sites in the student’s community. To apply for the RN to BSN program, applicants must apply to the 澳门在线赌城娱乐本科招生办公室.
