WellStar Health System has entered into a partnership with Kennesaw State University to enhance KSU’s nursing program. Kennesaw State University offers one of the strongest nursing programs, and the largest, in the state of Georgia. This partnership will help overcome the shortage of nurses in the country.
WellStar’s mission is to provide high-quality health care services to this community. KSU president Daniel Papp said the expanded partnership will help KSU attract “the best and the brightest nursing students in the state.” KSU and WellStar will work together to recruit more KSU Bachelor of Science nurses to work throughout the WellStar system. The partnership also will provide faculty development funds to retain nursing faculty within KSU’s WellStar School of Nursing.
