Samford University Gets $1 Million to Train Veterans as Nurses

Samford University’s Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing in Birmingham will launch a program designed specifically to meet the needs of veterans seeking a bachelor of science degree in nursing (B.S.N.). The program will offer a curricular pathway tailored to each veteran. 

After development and review of a portfolio, students may opt to complete a traditional or accelerated B.S.N. track. 

Veterans with prior health experience/training may receive credit for some courses and will have the opportunity to take refresher/remediation courses as needed. 

School of nursing faculty will receive special preparation in order to equip them to teach veterans more effectively.
