Applications are currently being accepted for January admission in the new On-line RN-BSN Completion Program at Southern Arkansas University, Magnolia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new program is fully accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission until 2011 and is designed for the working non-traditional student,\u201d said Dr. Bernadette Fincher, chair of the Department of Nursing. \u201cBecause the courses are offered online, students are able to study and participate in class discussions anytime day or night, according to the student\u2019s schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clinical component of the program may be carried out within the student\u2019s home region under the supervision of an approved preceptor. Faculty from the SAU Department of Nursing will travel to each student\u2019s area to check on the progress of their work.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know nurses have to work, and we are striving to accommodate the needs of those individuals,\u201d said Fincher.<\/p>\n
SAU offers two programs for nursing education. They are an associate of science degree in nursing, which includes the LPN\/LVN to RN \u201cFast Track,\u201d and the On-line RN-BSN Completion Program.<\/p>\n
According to Fincher, both nursing programs offered at SAU are NLNAC accredited and approved by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing and Commission of Higher Learning of the North Central Association.<\/p>\n
