If you are in the area, and interested: BPCC to Offer Nursing Classes - Health News Story - KTBS Shreveport

The Louisiana Board of Nursing has approved Bossier Parish Community College to move ahead with plans to offer an associate of science degree in nursing.

Officials say this program comes from the expressed demand from local hospitals and students.

"It's going to be delivered in a way that using technology and nontraditional clinical hours that a working person in those underserved populations that are traditionally face to many barriers to become a registered nurse can now realize that dream of becoming a nurse," says BPCC Chancellor Jim Henderson.

The first class will be offered in the fall.
