In
2007-08, 373 nursing students from various educational
institutions, ranging from the LPN to the master’s level, participated in
educational experiences at the AHECs.
The AHECs play an important role assisting nursing students in rural areas with
academic advising, registration, computer and interactive video access, and
course assistance. Through UAMS College of Nursing faculty in the AHECs, rural
nurses can earn credits toward the following UAMS degree programs:
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN Completion or RN to
Articulated BSN/MNSc)
Masters of Nursing Science (Nurse Practitioner tracks, Nursing
Administration or Nurse Educator)
Masters of Nursing Science (Bridge Process for RNs with
baccalaureate degree in field other than nursing)
UAMS College of Nursing
In 2007-08, 77 students were enrolled in the UAMS Nursing
outreach programs in El Dorado, Fayetteville, Helena, and Texarkana, a
collaboration between these AHECs and the College of Nursing.
RN to BSN (Baccalaureate Completion) and Articulated
BSN/MNSc allow two pathways leading to completion of the BSN degree for
Associate Degree or Diploma Registered Nurses. Programs are available through
the AHECs via interactive video and the Internet. Upon completion of the BSN,
students may apply to the MNSc program.
The
Master of Nursing Science (MNSc) program prepares nurses for
advanced nursing practice in the roles of clinician, administrator, and
educator, as well as providing a foundation for doctoral study. Courses are
offered through interactive video, by Internet, or taught on-site by AHEC
faculty.
