For those in Cincinnati: Part-time nursing program added at Mount | Community Press & Recorder | CommunityPress.com

Busy adults who wish to pursue a degree in nursing now have the option to take classes part time at the College of Mount St. Joseph. Beginning this fall the Mount will offer the Part-time Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.

There is a great demand for qualified nurses in the job market today. The Mount's new program is designed for those who wish to begin a new career but cannot attend classes full time due to work and other obligations. Students will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with blended and accelerated core classes offered in the evenings, with clinicals on Saturdays.

"The nursing program at the Mount has a wonderful reputation throughout the Tristate," said Susan Johnson, Ph.D., program director of nursing at the College. "We've been educating nurses for over 80 years. It seemed logical for us to offer a high-quality program for those who wish to purse the BSN degree part time."

Baccalaureate core courses are available this summer, and science prerequisite courses will be offered this fall. Visit http://bit.ly/PJ5gZ to learn more about the Part-time BSN program, or contact Nicki Veldhaus in the Admission Office, nicki_veldhaus@mail.msj.edu or 513-244-4538.
