The LSU Health New Orleans School of Nursing expands its program to north Louisiana to assist with the ongoing nursing shortage. Assistant Professor of Nursing Off-Campus, Linda Ledet said the new approved Off-Campus Instructional site is at LSU-Health Shreveport.
“Opening up another site for individuals that want to be nurses is going to be awesome because we need nurses greatly,” said Ledet.
Ledet said it’s a win-win so they can teach even more students in Shreveport with in-person instruction in conjunction with faculty from the nursing school in New Orleans that’s consistently ranked among the top nursing schools in the nation.
“And tap into the faculty that we have in New Orleans, can do virtual classes,” said Ledet.
The accelerated program allows students to graduate in two years and having the ability to use resources from both campuses, will greatly benefit students. Ledet said they are already accepting applications for spring.
“We’re going to accept 20 applicants in the spring of 2023 and then the next cycle will open to applications to accept 20 students in the fall,” said Ledet.
The two-year Career Alternative RN Education Program is open to students who have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
