WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Officials with the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree program at Missouri State University-West Plains will offer an evening program beginning this summer for area LPNs who wish to obtain their RN credentials.
Amy Ackerson, nursing program director, said this is the second year the university has offered an an evening bridge program targeted to, but not limited to, working licensed practical nurses. All course and clinical rotations for the evening program will be offered after 5 p.m. or online, she added.
Those admitted to the new cohort will begin classes in June. Ackerson noted the cohort will be limited in number to account for a smaller student-to-teacher ratio.
Area LPNs interested in the program may apply now through April 10. Additional information about the program and application process can be found at wp.missouristate.edu/academics/nursing.
