Part-Time Program Puts Nursing Career Within Reach

The journey to becoming a nurse is now more attainable than ever, even for people who work full-time. Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing is now offering a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Weekend and Evening Option designed with working people in mind.

Traditional nursing school programs are full-time and don't offer working individuals the flexibility they need. Goldfarb's Weekend and Evening Option program is part-time so students can continue working and have a more balanced life.

Throughout history, numerous African Americans made significant, legendary contributions to nursing and health care. Today, more than 350,000 nurses in the United States are Black or African American—and the number continues to grow. Thanks to their dedication and talents, trailblazing Black nurses will continue to break barriers and change the course of nursing and health care for the better.
