Taking the next step in your nursing education

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and National Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (N-OADN) have published a brochure, Envision Your Nursing Future, Taking the Next Step in Your Nursing Education. It gives further information for nurses wanting to advance their education.  It addresses the 2010 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Institute of Medicine report
The Future of Nursing:  Leading Change, Advancing Health recommendation that nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression. We have many great schools in North Texas that can further a nurse’s education. Programs include associate degree of nursing, baccalaureate degree, RN to baccalaureate degree, RN to master’s degree, and doctoral degrees. Programs are offered online and in classroom settings.  Many of the associate degree nursing programs have developed articulation agreements with universities that ease education progression to the bachelors of nursing degree program.  For a list of North Texas nursing schools, please see the Texas Nursing Resource Center website and review the North Texas Region tab.
