The new nursing program at Michigan's Siena Heights University's new nursing program plans to work with local hospitals to help curb the state's nursing shortage.

The program will require students to learn and work in a clinical setting, rather than mainly at the university. Siena Heights, which is based in Adrian, MI, is working toward an agreement with Bixby Medical Center in Adrian and Herrick Memorial Hospital in Tecumseh that would allow students to study at those hospitals.

The new curriculum is expected to help combat the nursing shortage in the state. The program will likely start in the spring of 2008 and will include both two- and four-year programs
