New Nursing Programs in 2021

Managing the creation of new programs at Christus Health in Dallas, Texas, Paul Generale is the healthcare network’s executive vice president. Paul Generale discusses changes in healthcare with the magazine Becker’s Hospital Review. In October of 2021, Becker’s Hospital Review highlighted seven notable nursing programs created in 2021.

The magazine compiled its list based on several factors, considering nursing programs created at colleges and universities that lacked them and choosing institutions that expanded their preexisting offerings. Becker’s Hospital Review also picked programs that addressed gaps in more established degrees or healthcare more broadly.

Becker’s Hospital Review recognized efforts nationwide of all sizes. In 2021, Ballad Health released information regarding collaboration with East Tennessee State University to create the Appalachian Highlands Center for Nursing Advancement. Higher learning institutions that announced nursing program expansions included Charlottesville, Virginia’s Piedmont Virginia Community College, their associate nursing program, and Texas A&M University's College of Nursing’s creation of a doctorate in nursing practice degree. To help prospective nursing professionals gain psychiatric mental health nursing knowledge, Columbus, Ohio’s Mount Carmel Hospital opened a program where participants could learn more about the field.
