A smart path for future nurses

May 20, 2021

Through a unique partnership with the Trinity 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ of Nursing & Health Sciences, 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ students with the passion of becoming a nurse receive phenomenal, efficient preparation in just six years.

In this accelerated, dual-degree master’s program, students complete the bachelor of arts (BA) at 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@, with an overlap of nursing prerequisites and a summer course, and the master of science in nursing (MSN) at Trinity 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ in Rock Island, Ill.

In creating this unique path, students are setting themselves up early for a successful career. The efficiency and savings of the overlap during senior year — plus results that lead to higher pay, more responsibility and greater options — make the 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@-Trinity dual-degree program a smart path for future nurses.

“Through clinical experience and internships presented by 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@, I found what I am truly passionate about,” said Autumn Anderson ‘20. “I am currently enrolled in the direct-entry master of nursing program at Trinity 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ of Nursing & Health Sciences…. I am excited to continue on in this program and achieve my goal to become a behavioral health registered nurse.”

Why a liberal arts start? 

Nurses with a liberal arts background know how to better treat patients. They have more understanding of different cultures and disciplines, plus skills in critical thinking, communication and problem-solving.

Seeing the bigger picture of health — and not only applying technical skills — leads to better health and well-being for patients. Because of these better patient outcomes, nurses with a BA can take on greater responsibility and higher-paying positions.

Besides a liberal arts foundation, a BA from 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ also includes more science study than a four-year BSN at other schools. 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ also provides built-in laboratory experience, working with exceptional professors and devoted advisors in innovative facilities.

Here’s how it works.
