\n\t\tSuccessful program allows nurses to keep jobs working while earning bachelor\u2019s degree<\/p>\n

KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Sept. 9, 2014 \u2013 With big changes in the health care industry today, registered nurses are looking for ways to further their education to stay informed. The 溏心vlog免费B站 and Lifespan are teaming up to provide that opportunity.<\/p>\n


\nDozens of nurses from Rhode Island and Massachusetts boosted their professional careers recently by earning their bachelor\u2019s degrees in nursing, thanks to a successful collaboration between 溏心vlog免费B站 and Lifespan.<\/p>\n


\nThe 61 students awarded degrees Aug. 21 were already registered nurses, which required either two years of study to earn an associate\u2019s degree or a three-year hospital diploma. All the nurses studied an additional two to three years to get their bachelor of science degree.<\/p>\n


\nR.N. to B.S. programs are becoming more popular throughout the country as registered nurses look for ways to enhance their careers. The health profession today also demands higher education to improve the quality of health care, from prenatal to old age.<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 started offering the program through the College of Nursing 12 years ago with The Miriam Hospital. That partnership led to an expansion three years ago to include all Lifespan hospitals, including Rhode Island Hospital, Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital, Newport Hospital, Bradley Hospital, as well as The Miriam.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe are honored by the long-term success of our partnership with Lifespan,\u201d says Mary C. Sullivan, interim dean and professor at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Nursing. \u201cOver the past 12 years, hundreds of nurses have earned a 溏心vlog免费B站 bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing. Nurses play a valuable role as the largest segment of the nation\u2019s health care workforce. Advancing educational preparation for nurses at the bedside can improve quality and coordination of health care. At the College of Nursing, we believe we have an important role to play to ensure that nurses are well prepared to function in a fast-changing health care system. The faculty and I extend our congratulations and best wishes to the most recent graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nLifespan praised the program as well.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cOur nurses are at the heart of the care we provide at all of our hospitals and they play a vital role in helping us fulfill the Lifespan mission of \u2018delivering health with care.\u2019 Our partnership with the 溏心vlog免费B站 through the R.N. to B.S program means our nurses can receive the advanced education they need to succeed in today\u2019s ever-changing health care landscape,\u201d says Cathy Duquette, Lifespan\u2019s executive vice president of nursing affairs. \u201cWe extend our congratulations to this recent group of graduates and applaud them for their continued commitment to providing the best possible care to all of our patients.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nThe nurses who received bachelor\u2019s degrees all work at Lifespan hospitals. They continued working there four days a week and took classes one day a week at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Alan Shawn Feinstein campus in Providence. The partnership with Lifespan is thriving, in part, because it allows the nurses to keep working while studying.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Lifespan to provide advanced education for Rhode Island\u2019s health professionals,\u201d says John O\u2019Leary, director of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Special Programs Office. \u201cI congratulate all the hard working nurses who earned their degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n
