Nursing Expansion Grant Program
Welcome
The Nursing Expansion Grant Program is aimed at increasing nurse educators from Alabama.
The CCN will redesign nursing education and increase the number of Nurse Educators from the current population of BSN-prepared nurses from Communities in Alabama earning a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree with a nursing education specialty.
Empowering the Next Generation of Nurse Educators in Alabama
A partnership between the Capstone College of Nursing and the US Department of Labor to address the nursing workforce needs in Alabama’s communities through education and mentoring
What our students are saying–
“This program allows me to take classes that further my understanding of becoming a nurse educator. Without this grant, I would not be able to pursue my goal. Earning this degree is especially important to me because of the impact it has on future nurses. I not only enjoy teaching but also helping future nurses develop a passion for the profession. “
A word from our Program Coordinator, Dr. Odunayo Elijah
