**PHOENIX, AZ, **Oct. 3, 2023 — 
[Arizona College of Nursing](https://www.arizonacollege.edu/) announced today
the opening of a new campus in St. Louis, Missouri. This will be the 18th campus
location for the college and the first campus to open in the state of Missouri.

Missouri faces a nursing shortage, and indicators predict the demand for new
nurses will continue. The state has 6,982 vacant staff nurse positions,
according to the 
[Missouri Hospital Association 2023 workforce report.](https://web.mhanet.com/media-library/2023-workforce-report/)
 As many nurses leave or age out of the profession, Missouri is experiencing a 
[17.4%](https://web.mhanet.com/media-library/2023-workforce-report/)  RN staff
vacancy rate. Missouri’s continuing demand for nurses is an excellent
opportunity for aspiring nursing graduates.

Arizona College of Nursing aims to address the demand for qualified Registered
Nurses (RN) in Missouri by offering a program that provides students the
opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Nursing Degree (BSN) in three years or less,
with qualified transfer credit. Students will experience a mixture of classroom
learning and hands-on training through simulation labs and clinical rotations.
The college is accepting enrollments for its first cohort, with classes
beginning October 23rd, 2023.

“Nurses are essential to our healthcare system, and the need will only increase
as Missouri’s population ages and the labor force declines,” said Dr. Lanette
Stuckey, Ph.D., MSN, RN, Dean of Nursing for Arizona College of Nursing’s St.
Louis Campus. “This is an exciting time to pursue a nursing career, and we are
thrilled to open our St. Louis campus. Our accredited, student-centric BSN
program will prepare students for a fulfilling nursing career.”

Students will benefit from small class sizes, providing the opportunity to
receive individual attention and form relationships with faculty and classmates.
The St. Louis campus will also offer support services, including tutoring, open
lab time, counseling services, career development services, and opportunities to
join student nursing associations.

The St. Louis campus is located at 1807 Park 270 Drive, Maryland Heights,
Missouri. For more information, please visit:
