BRIGHAM CITY, Utah, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the help of local health care facilities in and around Brigham City, Nightingale College is the newest institution to launch its accredited associate and bachelor's degree nursing programs.

"Pioneer Care Center is excited for the opportunity to partner with Nightingale College to be the host site for the clinical practice for both new nurses and experienced LPNs and RNs looking to advance their career," said Richard Anderson, Administrator of Pioneer Care Center. "As our population continues to age, the health care profession will continue to need clinically astute nurses that have the knowledge, experience, and compassion to care for those in need. Pioneer Care Center has proudly served the Brigham City area for over 50 years and is happy for the opportunity to provide additional nursing education and training in our local community."

“Nightingale College’s delivery model was designed to provide the best possible chance of keeping graduates working locally after program completion. Evidence shows that smaller communities struggle to recruit newly graduated nurses, our local model is a potential solution.”

Nightingale College's unique education model combines online classroom instruction and local, on-ground learning activities under the supervision of a faculty member to deliver its nursing program courses. Learners complete classroom assignments and lectures online then commute to their designated experiential learning hub to practice the hands-on portion requirements of the courses.

Nursing college acceptance and admittance remains competitive and attending a nursing program is not always feasible for some community residents while others travel, even relocate, to attend a nursing program.

Health care facilities struggle to employ enough nurses due to potential nurses relocating for school and the current nursing workforce reaching retirement age. These factors make it difficult for health care facilities to meet the community's needs. Alongside the demand for registered nurses is the rising need for accessible educational options—a necessity recognized by Nightingale College.

"Nightingale College's delivery model was designed to provide the best possible chance of keeping graduates working locally after program completion," said Jonathan Tanner, Vice President of Partnerships and Business Development at Nightingale College. "Evidence shows that smaller communities struggle to recruit newly graduated nurses, our local model is a potential solution."

Health care employers like Pioneer Care Center in Brigham City partnered with Nightingale College to provide an educational opportunity designed to expand the pool of local ready-to-work registered nurses and supply an additional advanced degree nursing program that is available to the community.

These health care employers investing in local education and employment prepare their communities to support fully staffed and safe nursing units while contributing to the increase in the number of qualified RN applicants in the area.

"Maple Springs of North Logan is thrilled to be partnering with the learners of Nightingale College for their long-term care clinical experiences. We feel that both our residents and our staff will enjoy the compassion and selfless service that the learners will bring to our community," said Lindsay Christensen, Director of Nursing at Maple Springs of North Logan, another local partner of Nightingale College's Brigham City DDC. "There continues to be a nursing shortage here in Cache Valley, and Nightingale College will help to fill this gap by admitting cohorts three times a year."

As of October 2018, Brigham City joins Nightingale College's three other partnership cohorts in Utah and becomes the tenth Dedicated Distance Cohort (DDC) area.

"We are looking forward to the opportunity to continue partnering with facilities in Utah and expanding our nursing programs reach to provide a solution that will not only assist our partners in supporting competent RNs in their facilities but help improve the community's health care," said Tanner.

Nightingale College's is currently enrolling in both the associate and bachelor's degree nursing programs.
