Non-nursing courses taken to pursue a bachelor’s degree can be earned
at any accredited colleges and will apply toward a degree through UNMC.
Registered nurses don’t need a bachelor’s degree to enroll in the masters
degree program. Some of UNMC’s nursing courses are accessible through the
Internet, which offers students the flexibility of learning at home according
to the students schedule.
The programs make it more convenient to earn advanced degrees by enabling
students to complete most of the typical classroom work through a computer.
This allows students the flexibility to study when its convenient for
them and greatly reduces travel to campus.
Presentations will be made by: Kate Fiandt, D.N.S., UNMC family nurse
practitioner and coordinator of the family nurse practitioner program;
Roberta Kroeger, assistant professor of nursing, College of Nursing Lincoln
Division and family nurse practitioner , and Dani Eveloff, M.S.N., R.N.,
recruitment coordinator. For more information, call 1-800-626-8431, extension
