Release Date: Tuesday 2023-04-04
The College of Southern Idaho (CSI) is pleased to announce it has received a $10,000 grant from the John William Jackson Philanthropic Fund in the Idaho Community Foundation. These funds will support the Registered Nursing Program at CSI.
The registered nursing program accepts up to 60 students each fall and spring semester. Once enrolled, Registered Nursing students can complete an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree in just two years. Graduates of this program leave prepared to get their license to enter the workforce in the life-changing field of Registered Nursing. Last year the program had an 81% completion rate with an 87% first-time NCLEX-RN pass rate.
We are extremely grateful for the work and generosity of the John William Jackson Philanthropic Fund and the Idaho Community Foundation,” said Jayson Lloyd, Dean of Health Sciences and Human Services. “The money provided by these organizations and their donors directly supports our Registered Nursing students through scholarships in their final year of study.”
