Herzing University announced today it is launching a new bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree program at its campuses in Brookfield and Kenosha. Applications are now being accepted for students interested in beginning the program in September.

 

“Herzing has a strong history of preparing students of all ages for in-demand careers, and we are pleased to bring this higher-level nursing degree program to two more campuses,” said Renee Herzing, president of Herzing University. “There are more than 2.5 million registered nurses in the country today, both men and women, and the field is expected to grow 22 percent by 2018. The BSN is one of several career-focused training programs that help our students across the country seize the growing opportunities in health care.”

 

The BSN program at the Brookfield and Kenosha campuses is designed for high school graduates and adult learners. They will study full-time for 33 months in a unique format that concentrates classes in morning, afternoon or evening blocks to provide a more life-friendly schedule.

 

Through the program, students will develop a foundation of knowledge and experience in pediatrics, obstetrics, adult health, mental health, geriatrics and public health. They also take general education and personal development courses, in addition to the required nursing and nursing-support courses that integrate theoretical instruction with clinical experience in a variety of health care settings.

 

“At a time when demand for nurses continues to grow, we are very excited to offer a degree that helps students take their careers to the next level,” said Krista Wills, president of Herzing’s Kenosha campus. “A BSN degree provides nurses with more career opportunities in every type of health care facility, as well as the option to continue their study at the graduate level and move into advanced practice and management positions.”

 

The Herzing BSN degree programs are approved by the State of Wisconsin Board of Nursing and the Wisconsin Educational Approval Board. Herzing University Online also offers convenient options for nursing education. For additional information, visit www.herzing.edu.
