S.C. State Overhauls Troubled Nursing Program
ORANGEBURG, S.C.
South Carolina State University has teamed up with two health schools to overhaul its troubled nursing program, which saw half of its graduates fail the state nursing exam last spring.
The state Board of Nursing earlier this month approved the closing of the university’s old nursing program and waived the 18-month waiting period to implement the new one. The university will share faculty and research with the nursing and public health schools at the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina.
