Through the partnership, SIUE School of Nursing will offer an online, accelerated RN to BSN degree, comprised entirely of SSM Health Care’s nurses, starting January 2015.

“At SSM Health Care, we are focused on providing patients the highest-quality care along with an exceptional patient experience,” said Amber Wood, system director of clinical education for SSM Health Care. “We are fortunate to have incredibly talented, compassionate nurses play an important role in that patient experience. We are excited to partner with SIUE’s high-quality School of Nursing to offer this opportunity to help our nurses advance their education and grow even stronger in their profession.”
