Abstract:
This article discusses the planning and implementation of a dual enrollment initiative between an associate degree and baccalaureate nursing program. This type of endeavor offers an advantage to nursing students by allowing them to enroll concurrently in both academic programs, avoiding academic breaks and creating a streamlined educational progression toward the BSN degree. Dual enrollment programs are a transformational way to meet Institute of Medicine recommendations for increasing the number of BSN-prepared nurses while strengthening ties between associate degree and baccalaureate nursing programs.
