By sequencing the classes this way, students may complete their bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing at EMU within a year after finishing their associate degree in nursing at HFC.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">A program option allows HFC students to receive their Registered Nurse (RN) license if they pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). This allows students to work as an RN while completing their bachelor\u2019s degree at EMU. Whether or not students earn their RN before graduating, the BSN is the core goal of the program.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cEastern Michigan University is pleased to be the leader among Michigan universities in the number of transfer agreements we have with community colleges,\u201d said EMU President James M. Smith. \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Henry Ford College\u2019s nursing program and bring opportunities to nursing students for a seamless transition to receive a full degree. This program, similar to all of our community college agreements, provides students with the cost advantages of earning credits at HFC for their first two years, before transferring and completing their bachelor\u2019s degree at EMU.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Prior to enrolling, students must meet the admissions criteria of HFC, HFC\u2019s nursing program, EMU, and EMU\u2019s School of Nursing. Students begin by applying for admission to HFC and the Collaborative AND\/BSN program. Students will pay HFC credit-hour rates for the classes they take at HFC, and EMU credit-hour rates for the classes they take at EMU. Both institutions offer financial aid for eligible students.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Under this agreement, EMU will waive its normal 60-hour transfer rule and require that a minimum of only 30 credit hours must be completed in nursing courses offered by EMU. General Education requirements may be satisfied by the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) as part of this program.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The procedures and requirements to enroll in the program are described on the HFC Nursing website (<a href=\"http:\/\/hfcc.edu\/nursing\">hfcc.edu\/nursing<\/a>).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of RNs is projected to grow 19 percent from 2012 to 2022 \u2013 faster than the average for all occupations. Thanks to this new agreement, HFC and EMU will be able to help fill the growing need for nurses.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Demand for BSN degrees is also increasing as part of the growth in the nursing profession\u2014the largest segment of the U.S. healthcare workforce overall. By 2020, the Institute of Medicine recommends that 80% of registered nurses should have a BSN degree.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cWe are excited about this agreement between Henry Ford College and Eastern Michigan University,\u201d said HFC President Russell Kavalhuna. \u201cThe nursing program at Henry Ford College is a point of pride for us, and we are happy to provide our students this path toward achieving a bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing at Eastern Michigan University. Student success is our mission. We are proud to have partners like <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Eastern Michigan University in that effort.\u201d<span
