The Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Nursing, located in College Station, was created in response to the severe nursing shortage across Texas. With a nursing work force as well as a large population that is aging and ready to retire, it is vital to the state of Texas to help increase the number of registered nurses. The college is committed to addressing this vital need. The faculty and staff believe that highly skilled nurses, in collaboration with other health professionals, through research and service will facilitate individuals, families and groups to achieve a maximum state of well being.
The college offers three different “tracks” for the baccalaureate degree. One is a standard generic Bachelor of Science in nursing (B.S.N.) requiring two years of prerequisite courses and two years of nursing curricula. A second “accelerated” program is for those who already have earned a bachelor’s degree in another field of study. The third track is an R.N. — to — B.S.N. program allowing registered nurses with associate degrees to complete additional course work for the B.S.N.
Approximately 35 faculty and staff members will be hired over the course of the next five years. Long-range plans include nursing graduate programs to include a master’s in nursing education and a master’s in public health nursing.
The HSC facilities in College Station supporting nursing education include a 45-person classroom; skills laboratory with eight hospital beds, nursing station and medication room; and three rooms designed to simulate a hospital environment equipped with computer-programmed manikins.
