Using web-based distance education,
Slippery Rock University makes it possible for RNs to obtain a BSN
at the same time they are managing busy work and home schedules.
All nursing and support courses in the nursing program are offered
entirely by web-based distance education. Students do their work
from anywhere they have Internet access. An up-to-date curriculum
reflects the impact of managed care and the leadership roles nurses
now play in health care. Building on the previous education of the
RN, an academically and clinically qualified faculty works with
each student to plan a program of studies. |
