UNC Greensboro’s Veteran’s Access Program for Nursing Susan Letvak PhD, RN, FAAN UNC Greensboro School of Nursing

NC Veteran Population 3 rd highest active duty military population in the US 776,000 veterans live here 6 th in post 9/11 veterans 8.2% of post 9/11 veterans are without jobs Veterans have a 20% poverty rate

Registered Nurse Workforce Nationally over 55% of RNs have a Bachelors degree- in NC only 34% do. We need Bachelors prepared nurses in NC to provide the highest quality of care. The need for RNs will continue to grow and shortages are already occurring throughout the state.

Veterans= Great Nurses!

The UNCG School of Nursing Veterans Access Program (VAP)

HRSA Grant Funded Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention Veterans’ Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program. UNCG School of Nursing is in the second cohort to be funded (over $1 million received). Finishing our second year. The grant “forced the hand” of faculty to accept the Joint Service Transcript (JST) as academic credit.

Enlarged our nursing program by up to 24/year Transition to civilian nursing course Customized clinical opportunities Counseling support Specialized tutoring Reimbursement for fees Start up kit A study room/computers Financial safety net 20 enrolled now- 24 more coming this fall! UNCG Veteran Access Program

Attracted Donor Support

Awarding Academic Credit We are utilizing the Joint Service Transcript to provide direct college credit. Students can complete our five semester program in as little as THREE SEMESTERS- saving GI benefits for graduate school and getting vets into the workforce. Can also competency test if unsure of knowledge/skill base

Sample JST

Next Steps At UNC Greensboro: working with the Registar and other departments to award college credit for veterans in ALL programs- not just nursing For the UNC System: spreading the message as part of the GA MCAC - assisting other programs to accept military course work/experience for college credit.
