Northeast Iowa Community College, University of Iowa announce nursing partnership

Thursday, September 7, 2023

Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) and the University of Iowa (UI) have finalized a new partnership agreement allowing NICC Nursing graduates to seamlessly transfer to the UI College of Nursing and complete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees. 

With this RN to BSN 3+1 Articulation Agreement, students may attend NICC to complete the Associate Degree of Nursing program and then transfer to the UI College of Nursing online RN-BSN program for one additional year of college to earn their BSN. 

Nurses who graduate from UI’s online RN-BSN program acquire vital knowledge and skills that help enhance their ability to provide quality care to diverse patient populations who have increasingly complex health care needs.

A great benefit to this online option is that NICC Nursing graduates will be able to stay in their communities and work as registered nurses while completing their bachelor’s degrees.
