USM Nursing Program Hosts Info Session on New Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing Track 

  Register Online for the Info Session
 

(Leavenworth, Kan.)—The University of Saint Mary will hold a free Information Session about USM's new Accelerated Track for its Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7, in USM's nursing department on the fourth floor of Mead Hall at 4100 South Fourth Street in Leavenworth.

Prospective students will learn all about the new accelerated program, which allows second-degree seekers to earn their BSN degree in just 12 months. Attendees will also have the opportunity to speak with USM's dedicated expert nursing faculty, speak with a financial aid advisor, tour the university's nursing facilities, and see equipment demonstrations.

Learn more about the program and sign up for the session at www.stmary.edu/NursingNow.

Applications are now being accepted for classes starting this June. The application fees will be waived for attendees who fill out applications at the Feb. 7 information session.

"This session is designed to help prospective students decide if this program may fit their career objectives and their lifestyle," said Glenna Mahoney, chair of USM's nursing department. "Accelerated nursing tracks are becoming increasingly popular, because they allow you to earn your degree and start your new career in as short of time as possible. USM's program builds off of our already outstanding tradition of nursing education."

The Accelerated BSN is designed for individuals looking for a career change—a career that is perhaps more personally fulfilling. Applicants must have earned a bachelor's degree in another field in order to be accepted.

It's a particularly intensive track. Students will be completing the same coursework and other requirements of a traditional BSN student—which would typically take two years—in just 12 months. The accelerated nature, however, does not mean the education is abbreviated.

Classes are taken in terms of either seven or eight weeks in length. Students will take 58 credit hours of courses and 772.5 hours of clinical/laboratory experiences over the course of their studies.

Call (913) 758-4386 or visit www.stmary.edu/NursingNow to register for the information session or to learn more about USM's accelerated BSN program.
