Our local community college, it looks like, will be one of three in our state approved (with $$ funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation APIN Grant, of course) to be the first to develop and pilot a bachelors in nursing program. No, not a transfer to a four-year university. They will offer their very own community college RN> BSN.
They're phasing out their ADN program altogether, and going strictly AAS-T (which has more pre-reqs), at which point a student can then enroll with them for the fourth year upon completion.
They're supposed to be implementing in Fall 2014.
Interesting...
Cha-ching goes the community college(s).
