ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ recently hosted representatives from West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) for an articulation agreement signing. The new agreement offers ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ students who complete their Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and successfully obtain an RN license to seamlessly transfer to WTAMUβs Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. After becoming an RN, students would complete an additional 32 hours at ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ and then transfer to WTAMU to complete the last 30 hours of bachelor-level nursing courses online.
βWest Texas A&M is known for their outstanding nursing program and we are pleased to offer our students another avenue to obtain their BSN,β Dr. Kevin Rose, ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ Vice President for Instruction, said. βThis is a very in-demand degree that can significantly increase earning potential. The fact that it is offered online makes it even more desirable to our students, who may not be in a position to relocate while they complete their bachelorβs degree.β
Among the representatives from WT was Dr. Brad Johnson, former ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ president. He left ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ in 2017 to take a position as Vice President for Strategic Relations.
βIt is such a pleasure to be back on the ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ campus and see all that has been accomplished since last year. While WT and ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ are geographically distant, both are located in rural areas of Texas and share a similar mission in many ways. We are excited to be able to offer ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ students another high-quality and affordable avenue for continuing their education,β Johnson said.
