Honoring Strong Nursing Partnerships

According to data from the Health Resources and Services Administration, nursing is the single largest profession in the entire U.S. healthcare workforce. With more than 4 million RNs nationwide, the sheer number of nurses is astounding. As the leading educator of Professional Nursing Associate’s degree students in the country in 2016 and 2017, Rasmussen College has helped train more than 12,000 graduates to enter the nursing profession. The College’s Nursing programs have flourished in part by forging strong partnerships with organizations such as the ATI.

Each year, Rasmussen College designates a partner who works collaboratively and responsively to further the mission of the College as a Partner of Distinction. This year, Rasmussen College has chosen to recognize ATI. Since 2014, ATI has partnered with the College to use evidence-based practice and data to drive positive outcomes.

“Our partners at ATI have put our College and our Nursing students first, which has had a direct impact on our programs and campuses and has directly contributed to the quality of our students’ experiences and successes,” said Rich. “Together, we can empower and offer innovative nursing education across the nation to help build the future of nursing education.”
