title: The role of staff development in promoting BSN programs.
abstract: Staff development is undergoing rapid change in the current health care environment. One issue of critical importance is providing access to credit courses for nurses who want to obtain a Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) degree. A university and hospital collaborated to provide learning opportunities jointly for nurses to work toward completion of a BSN using the off-campus concept.
