LOUIS, MO A new partnership between OpusVi, the leading healthcare workforce development company, and [Webster University](https://www.webster.edu/), a regionally ranked not-for-profit university based out of St. Louis, will allow more registered nurses (RN) to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. This partnership will ensure RNs seeking a BSN have the best quality program available at an affordable cost. #### Julie Deloia, PhD #### Chief Academic Officer of OpusVi Nurses play a key role in patient quality of care and positive outcomes. As the healthcare system has gotten increasingly complex, there has been a push for front line nurses to have a minimum of a bachelor of science in nursing degree. Evidence has borne out that a higher level of education for nurses is associated with better patient outcomes and a lower mortality rate. For these reasons, the Institute of Medicine in 2010 recommended that by the year 2020, 80 percent of nurses should have at least a BSN. Currently, we are short of this goal, with an estimated 55 - 60% of nurses earning a minimum of a BSN. Our partnership, bringing together high quality at an affordable price point helps achieve this goal. #### Janice Palmer #### Chair of the Nursing Department at Webster University Our faculty recognizes the work experience of the RN student. We use this experience to engage students in the online classroom. We also know that returning to school can be a concern for students as they juggle work, home, family, and life. The faculty members have been in the students’ shoes. Along with the many resources available to online students, including the library and writing center staff support, the faculty care about, and support students as they pursue their BSN, including one-on-one sessions. #### Julie Deloia, PhD #### Chief Academic Officer of OpusVi Nurses play a key role in patient quality of care and positive outcomes.

This partnership between Thunderbird and OpusVi will help prepare leaders to turn the enormous healthcare opportunities into realities.
