Nursing Education

In 2006-07, 277 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)

Please see the AHEC Annual Report (pdf)  for additional information.
