83 Degrees Features “First-of-its-Kind” USF Nursing Registered Nurse to Bachelor’s Degree Program

83 Degrees writes a feature article on University of South Florida College of Nursing and the College’s “first-of-its-kind” program developed for today’s Registered Nurses with a focus on clinical practice, education, and leadership.

The College of Nursing’s online program allows students to study and learn at a time and place that’s most convenient to them. The 30-credit program can be completed in three semesters if attending full-time, and costs less than $6,000. In Spring 2012, the USF College of Nursing enrolled 50 students in the program, and another 85 were enrolled in Summer 2012.

“We’re really trying to prepare them for not only what they’re facing now, but what they’ll be facing in the next 20 years,” USF College of Nursing Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Interprofessional Initiatives, Rita F. D’Aoust, PhD, ACNP, ANP-BC, CNE, FAANP, FNAP, said in the article.
