University of Pittsburgh and Bradford Launch Online Nursing Degree
What happened
Pitt-Bradford has launched a remote Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program through a partnership between the University of Pittsburgh and Bradford. The program is asynchronous, allowing working Registered Nurses (RNs) to earn the degree without leaving their jobs.
Why it matters
The program is designed to address the overall nursing shortage in the United States, a situation that is worsened by the ongoing retirement of senior nurses. By providing flexible pathways, the collaboration aims to increase the pool of qualified nurses.
