Online learning program helps working nurses earn bachelors’ degrees - Kristin Czubkowski
Katie Mortier knew she wanted to work with children when she graduated from college, but for a long time, she wasn't sure in what way. Since the BSN@Home program began, more than 550 students have graduated with their bachelor in nursing degrees. "I started the nursing program at (the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) and then transferred to an elementary education program at UW-Oshkosh," she says. "After a about a year and a half I decided to go back to nursing." The BSN@Home program began in the spring of 1996, according to Sharon Nellis, UW-Madison's School of Nursing assistant dean and the director of the state-wide distance-learning program. The program combines the resources of five UW nursing schools — UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Eau Claire, UW-Green Bay and UW-Oshkosh — to provide five shared distance-learning courses to registered nurses seeking bachelor's degrees. At the time, each of the five nursing programs had its own RN to baccalaureate program.
