Tennessee Nurse, Winter, 2006
Licensed practical nurse graduates of area Tennessee Technology Centers seeking a baccalaureate degree will benefit from a federal grant awarded to the College of Nursing at East Tennessee State University.
The $745,500 grant will allow ETSU to create a nursing advisement office at each site. The university will work with the LPN students at Tennessee Technology Centers in Elizabethton and Morristown and at sites in Greeneville and Kingsport to facilitate their transition into ETSU's baccalaureate program in nursing after graduation.
The ETSU College of Nursing has established partnerships with local hospitals and health care agencies that will help fund education through tuition reimbursement of those LPN graduates who are employed by the agencies and are pursuing bachelor's of science in nursing degrees.
