As MTSU begins the fall 2017 semester, its School of Nursing is encouraging interest in a vital profession that constantly needs qualified professionals with a special open house set Friday, Aug. 25.

The MTSU School of Nursing is inviting invites all new and current students in the Master’s of Science in Nursing Program to an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 25 in the lobby of the Cason-Kennedy Nursing Building. Attendees are welcome to enjoy refreshments and chat about the degree track with faculty members.

Dr. Jenny Sauls

With a critical shortage of family nurse practitioners in the United States, the Master’s of Science in Nursing degree helps to fill the need by preparing students to provide health care services to all ages and underserved populations.

Except for clinical rotations, coursework in MTSU’s program is performed online, providing maximum flexibility for students who have tight schedules or who live in remote areas.

A printable campus parking map is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap.

Off-campus visitors attending the event should obtain a special one-day permit from MTSU’s Office of Parking and Transportation at www.mtsu.edu/parking/visit.php.

For more information, contact Dr. Jenny Sauls, director of the School of Nursing, at 615-904-8488 or jenny.sauls@mtsu.edu.
