Mayville State’s RN-to-BSN and MSN programs are fully online and designed to allow practicing nurses to continue their education. Given the current and ongoing nursing workforce shortage, the format of Mayville State’s program is crucial, allowing nurses to remain in their communities, stay in the workforce, and further their education. With your gift on Giving Hearts Day, you can help nursing students like Kendra, who is the RN-to-BSN degree at Mayville State! Schedule your gift at www.givingheartsday.org.
