As the battle against the pandemic continues, Arlington community recognition and support for the frontline workers matters more every day. Staying home when we can is an enormous contribution to make sure these essential workers are not flooded with too much work, and not put into greater risk of contagion.
Among these local heroes that put their own health on the line every single day, we would be remiss to not appreciate our nurses.
Throughout the country, nurses are working overtime to manage the situation with COVID-19, tending to more patients than ever and working longer hours than what even seemed possible. Putting their own health on the line for the health and well-being of their friends, their family, their neighbors, their communities, and their country, there is no doubt that these individuals are being nothing short of heroic in this time of crisis.
RN to BSN training in Arlington
The training and education that goes into forging these frontline heroes is nothing short of rigorous, and luckily for residents of Arlington, our frontline fighters are top-of-the-line in this regard. The University of Texas at Arlington has recently been named the #2 RN to BSN nursing school program in all of Texas for 2020 by RegisteredNursing.org.
This is the fourth Annual Nursing School Program Ranking provided by RegisteredNursing.org. And today, more than ever, it’s important to recognize and appreciate all the hard work and dedication that these individuals go through to provide top-notch, compassionate, and highly skilled care—not only during a crisis and during a pandemic, but every single day of the year.
The rankings done by RegisteredNursing.org are constructed pulling data from IPEDS, NCES, OPE, and The Council for Community and Economic Research. Schools were then ranked based on total points earned during the evaluation. Points are given based on criteria such as whether or not the institution is accredited, whether or not online programs are offered, the variety of nurse programs offered, annual tuition and fees, acceptance rate percentage, and graduation rate. The specific breakdown can be found on the site: https://www.registerednursing.org/rankings-methodology/.
