The good news for Upstate South Carolina, Anderson and Anderson County just keeps on coming!

With Anderson University getting approval by the South Carolina Board of Nursing for its nursing program feasibility study, Anderson University has started the process of obtaining approval by the Board to begin an undergraduate nursing program. The target date for initiation of this program is 2012.

Anderson University will now conduct an evaluation phase to develop more specific details of a potential program for review by the Board of Nursing. Those processes must be satisfactorily completed before students can be recruited or any possible time frame for the application process can be considered.

Anderson University is a comprehensive university affiliated with the South Carolina Baptist Convention offering bachelors and masters degrees. Anderson is ranked in the Top Tier (top 25) of colleges and universities in the South, and one of “77 Schools to Watch in America, by U. S. News & World Report.  Anderson has also been named one of “Americas 100 Best College Buys,” Located in The Upstate region of South Carolina near the foothills of the Appalachians, Anderson University features a rigorous education in a supportive Christian environment.

I have been a registered nurse for over 35 years and a nurse practitioner for over 10, This has by far been my greatest return on investment. In the Indianapolis area we have a plethora of nursing schools but there is a nursing instructor shortage. This is true for much of the country. The pay for a doctoral prepared nurse teaching for a college or university is generally not substantial enough to entice bright minds away from the clinical setting.  Therefore, there is often a waiting list for potential nursing students wishing to fill available slots in the nursing programs. Hopefully Anderson will be able to successfully address the parity of pay issue and attract sufficient qualified instructors. Good Luck to them!

One of my fellow agents also teaches at Anderson University and he says the attraction is the Christian higher education environment for the instructors.
