The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford (Pa.) and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center partnered to give UPMC registered nurses access to the university’s online registered nurse-bachlor’s of science in nursing, or RN-BSN, degree program.
Under the agreement, grants and UPMC health system will cover tuition so nurses can earn the online degree at no cost, according to a May 8 university news release shared with Becker’s. The program allows nurses to earn their BSN in an asynchronous fashion while maintaining their full-time job.
Many UPMC nurses hold an associates degree in nursing, and are seeking ways to earn their bachelor’s, the release said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
