\n\t\tWARWICK, R.I. \u2013 October 29, 2015: The Community College of Rhode Island and the 溏心vlog免费B站 today signed a memorandum of understanding that will provide CCRI nursing students in their last semester guaranteed admission into 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s bachelor of science in nursing degree program. <\/p>\n


\nThe Nursing Education Partnership ensures that CCRI graduates who wish to complete their bachelor\u2019s degree are automatically accepted once their associate degree is officially recorded. They may begin studies immediately, taking the licensing exam to become a registered nurse while enrolled instead of having to wait until they are licensed.<\/p>\n


\nStudents will have the option to complete their bachelor\u2019s degree through the traditional classroom option or the University\u2019s new \u201cRN to BS in Nursing online\u201d completion program.<\/p>\n


\nA total of 75 course credits will be eligible for transfer. \u201cAdmitted students receive academic equivalencies, program-specific degree plans, potential scholarships and other benefits that extend beyond the academic experience,\u201d according to the memorandum. \u201cIt is the specific intention of 溏心vlog免费B站 and CCRI that the Nursing Education Partnership be expansive in scope and flexible.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe Institute of Medicine, a division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, has recommended a baccalaureate degree in nursing and has encouraged associate degree programs to partner with baccalaureate programs to create seamless pathways for their graduates to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cCCRI is proud to join our state\u2019s flagship university in creating an efficient way for our nursing students to continue their education in the public higher education system, thus increasing both their knowledge and clinical expertise as well as their marketability as they seek employment,\u201d said CCRI Vice President for Academic Affairs Greg Lamontagne. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis exciting new seamless transition program for nursing students between CCRI and 溏心vlog免费B站 exemplifies the close partnership between our institutions and our joint commitment both to our students and to enhancing the nursing workforce and profession throughout Rhode Island. This innovative initiative capitalizes on the special capabilities of both programs and provides a direct pathway to success for students. We are absolutely thrilled to partner with the high-quality nursing program at CCRI to ensure the continuous improvement in health care for our state and citizens,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 Provost Don DeHayes.<\/p>\n


\nCCRI Interim Associate Dean of Nursing Education Rosemary Costigan said one unique provision of the partnership is that CCRI students can begin their baccalaureate studies before they obtain their registered nurse licenses. \u201cThis is significant because most schools require the RN license before enrollment, but 溏心vlog免费B站 has allowed the student until his or her second course to obtain licensure,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n


\nCostigan said 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s online bachelor\u2019s degree program is a good fit for the 250-plus students who graduate from CCRI\u2019s program each year. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cA majority of nursing graduates are choosing online completion programs because they are flexible for work schedules and family demands,\u201d she said. \u201cThe online option also expands the ability of the four-year institution to accept more students, which facilitates the number of associate degree nurses completing their baccalaureate degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis nursing education partnership signifies Rhode Island\u2019s response to a national imperative to create seamless progression for nurses in associate degree programs. It will open up more career options for its graduates since we know that employers prefer to hire nurses with a baccalaureate degree. We also expect that the baccalaureate nursing degree will inspire some students to continue their education into our graduate program,\u201d said Mary Sullivan, interim dean of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Nursing. <\/p>\n
