Nursing shortages have been an ongoing issue in the state and rural areas have been hit hardest, including the Uintah Basin. Utah State University has announced a new offering with their nursing program that is expected to help meet the industry’s needs and it will be available through the USU Uintah Basin campus. The College of Education and Human Services will offer a new online Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) completion program. “The program will be completely online to help students remain in their local communities while completing their education,” shares the USU announcement. “Students can build on their previous nursing education and experience as they develop skills by integrating current concepts of best practice.” The application deadline for Fall 2020 admission is March 31st.
