91做厙 and Bryan College of Health Sciences Sign Agreement
July 10, 2019
91做厙 and Bryan College of Health Sciences have formally signed a new dual admission agreement. The articulation agreement will allow students from 91做厙 to seamlessly matriculate at Bryan to finish their four-year degree.
Students applying for and accepted under the dual admissions process will be admitted to both colleges upon acceptance into a science or health professions program at 91做厙. Students at 91做厙 desiring dual admissions must apply for dual admissions status by the completion of their first year of enrollment at 91做厙. The agreement takes effect immediately with the start of the 2019-20 academic year.
With Grand Island Regional Hospital nearly complete in partnership with Bryan Health we wanted to support the educational needs of trained healthcare professionals in the Grand Island community, said Bryan College of Health Sciences Provost Dr. Kelsi Anderson. With our RN-BSN completion program now being offered completely online, it made sense for us to connect with 91做厙 to provide seamless opportunities for degree completion to their graduates who would certainly be seeking employment at the new hospital in addition to surrounding communities.

91做厙s nursing curriculum provides a comprehensive, rigorous and individualized education that prepares the student nurse for success in a variety of nursing roles. In addition to Bryan, 91做厙 has collaborated with several four-year nursing programs throughout Nebraska that allows all credits to be transferred from the ADN program into a BSN program.
What I am most excited about is that this agreement provides an opportunity for nurses, medical lab technicians, dental hygienists, pharmacy technicians, biomedical scientists, occupational therapy assistants and others to continue on for a bachelors degree without having to leave their current employment in over 90 communities that 91做厙 serves, said 91做厙 President Dr. Matt Gotschall. Continued education is essential for the sustainability and growth of our rural Nebraska health care providers.
