Texas college unveils BSN program to expand training
Staff Development Weekly: Insight on Evidence-Based Practice in Education, August 2, 2007
A South Texas school will launch a bachelor of science in nursing degree program this fall, after receiving approval from the state Board of Nurse Examiners.
Officials at Wayland Baptist University in San Antonio, TX, say the program is part of a bigger endeavor to increase nurse training opportunities in the area. The college plans to build a 60,000-square-foot facility for the program, which holds a price tag of about $8 million.
Fifteen students will be accepted to begin classes in the fall, and the program expects to enroll 50 students by the fall of 2008. There are reportedly around 800 open nursing positions available in the San Antonio region.
