Nightingale College Renews Partnership with the NRHA

Nightingale College announces its partnership with the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) for a second year.

The College joined the NRHA in 2016 as a Pipeline Partner to help improve health care in rural communities. Unlike their urban counterparts, rural Americans face challenges that limit their access to health care and health-related educational programs. To fulfill its mission of “creating pathways to educational and professional success” and “elevating health care,” the College renewed it partnership with the organization for 2017. The College, as an NRHA Pipeline Partner, offers its full-distance Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree Programs to rural areas, providing a continuous pathway for health care facilities to recruit, retain, and support homegrown registered nurses. Nightingale College looks forward to continuing to assist rural health care facilities fight the nursing shortage and lack of educational opportunities. With the collaborative efforts of the College and its partners, rural communities can provide advanced education to licensed registered nurses, and educate and graduate locally trained nurses who are ready to serve their community.

Nightingale College is excited to serve rural America, its health care providers and residents in the upcoming year.
