@saluki-69This seems like good news but we must remain vigilant as SIU seems to fib a lot on these sort of things.

New Chancellor to be chosen in April. New President Mahoney is on board March 1 and will assist in decision. Also good news, bad news on applications. 500 applications are for new nursing program that only takes 50.That's good news for the nursing program but skewed SIU's overall new applications.

Is there a demand not being met (by other schools) for nurses from this program. Maybe we expand that program??? Nothing wrong with producing grads that have work in their field.

Nursing is in high demand.
'While only 50 applicants will gain admission to nursing at SIUC, the university hopes to route other qualified applicants into pre-nursing courses or other “critically needed health-related fields,” Dunn said, from audiology to speech and language pathology to social work.
Eventually, Dunn added, the program’s cohort sizes will increase.
“But our goal is to be high quality and to get it right out of the chute," he said, "and we’re doing that." '
