Chamberlain College of Nursing will open a new campus in Indianapolis in February and is accepting applications for its onsite BSN degree program that can be completed in three years of year-round study.
The campus will have high-tech simulated patient care environments including an ICU, coronary care unit, obstetrics and pediatrics, two general skills labs and a health assessment lab, all part of the SIMCARE CENTER. A Center for Academic Success will provide students with academic resources and support.
“There will be greater demand on the healthcare system in coming years, and our workforce needs to be ready,” CCN national president Susan Groenwald, RN, MSN, PhD(c), said in a news release. “Indiana will not be able to build a strong nursing workforce if prospective nurses do not have adequate access to quality nursing education.”
The first Chamberlain campus in Indiana and the 10th in the nation, CCN has the stamp of approval from the Indiana State Board of Nursing, the Indiana Commission on Proprietary Education and the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Nursing shortage statistics from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development indicate more than 12,000 additional nurses will be needed by 2018. However, some 1,600 BSN applicants in the state were turned away in 2010 because of lack of space at existing nursing schools, according to the Indiana Nursing Workforce Development Center.
“Through the opening of the Indianapolis campus, Chamberlain will educate future nursing professionals to meet the state’s healthcare demands,” Groenwald said.
Classes start Feb. 27.
