Beginning in January, Angelo State University will offer Hill Country residents a variety of undergraduate and graduate nursing classes through its new office in the Kendall County Economic Development Corporation building at 1221 S. Main Street in Boerne.

While all course work for the classes will be done online, ASU nursing faculty will visit the Boerne office at least three times a semester to meet with students.

Courses will be offered in the Nursing Department’s Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN), RN to Master of Master of Science in Nursing (RN to MSN), and Master of Science programs. Students do not have to live in Boerne to take the classes.

Courses for the RN to BSN and RN to MSN programs will include Computer Applications for Health Care Professionals, Health Assessment, Pathophysiology, Management in Nursing Practice, Community Health, Statistical Techniques for Health Professionals, Role of the Clinical Preceptor, Cultural Diversity in Nursing and Research for Nursing Practice: An Evidence-Based Approach.

Courses for the Master of Science program will include Teaching Strategies in Nursing Education, Evaluation of Nursing Education, Health Policy and Ethics, Advanced Pathophysiology and Advanced Health Assessment.
