Partners In Nursing Education
On June 3, 1996 the United States Army Cadet Command
and Capital University agreed to become Partners in Nursing Education.
In order to meet its needs for future Army Nurse Corps officers,
the US Army extended this opportunity to a few select universities
and colleges.
Capital
University School of Nursing was one of only 41 university programs
nationwide selected for this special honor and recognition. The
criteria included: a highly challenging academic curriculum, a
high retention and graduation rate of nurse cadets within the
Army ROTC program, and a high success rate of students passing
state nursing board exams.
There
are two aspects to the Partners in Nursing Education Program.
First, the US Army Cadet Command provides a selected number of
4-year Army Nurse scholarships to Capital University each year,
and the School of Nursing agrees to accept these students into
the nursing program for 4 years. All students admitted through
this program must meet the academic standards for admission of
Capital University and the School of Nursing. Capital University
has also agreed to accept transfer students who meet the transfer
criteria of the University and the School of Nursing and to guarantee
them upper division nursing seats.
Second,
Capital University awards nursing students a minor in Military
Science which includes academic credit for the Nurse Summer Training
Program completed by cadets during the summer following their
junior year.
