| Project Description: |
| This funding would allow for additional instructors to be employed at Barry University to teach students with degrees who may want to return to school to earn a nursing degree on an accelerated schedule. With the amount requested, Barry will be able to recruit 35 RNs and fast-track them bachelor�s degrees, with 20 then moving into master�s level programs. Nursing programs are facing critical shortages of PhD-level educators; this program is intended to move Associate-degree holders that are highly qualified into graduate programs, with those that are at the top of their class, into PhDs. |

c. 20 BSN graduates will continue on to the master�s degree program at Barry University within 36 months of receiving the grant funds, at least 50% of those individuals will go on to become nurse educators (faculty) within the state of Florida
Long-term outcomes: More BSN/MSN-educated clinicians and nurses in our community (over baseline); more nurse educators (faculty) available to teach the next generation of nurses
