Call-out text:
ROTC also benefits from its partnership with NCIN. Participating in the Leadership Challenge gives ROTC an opportunity to market its program and recruit nursing cadets.
An accelerated B.S.N. program designed especially for the individual holding a bachelor's degree in another field.
Long text (Legacy Book):
Enrollment in the school of nursing expanded by 21 students in the 2010-2011 academic year, and the number of students in Ursuline’s second-degree accelerated BSN program more than doubled. The number of male students increased from zero to seven and has remained steady. The number of black and Latino students doubled. Project liaisons learned that sometimes assistance can be readily obtained from other college organizations. The university’s Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) chapter, for example, worked with NCIN scholars to help them complete the Leadership Challenge—a course designed to improve leadership skills, group problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making.
