Honoring Strong Nursing Partnerships
According to data
from the Health Resources and Services Administration, nursing is
the single largest profession in the entire U.S. healthcare workforce.
With more than 4 million RNs nationwide, the sheer number of nurses is
astounding. As the leading educator of Professional Nursing Associate’s
degree students in the country in 2016 and 2017, Rasmussen College has
helped train more than 12,000 graduates to enter the nursing profession.
The College’s Nursing programs have flourished in part by forging strong
partnerships with organizations such as the ATI.
Each year, Rasmussen College designates a partner who works
collaboratively and responsively to further the mission of the College
as a Partner of Distinction. This year, Rasmussen College has chosen to
recognize ATI. Since 2014, ATI has partnered with the College to use
evidence-based practice and data to drive positive outcomes.
“Our partners at ATI have put our College and our Nursing students
first, which has had a direct impact on our programs and campuses and
has directly contributed to the quality of our students’ experiences and
successes,” said Rich. “Together, we can empower and offer innovative
nursing education across the nation to help build the future of nursing
education.”
