A nursing program is returning to the University of Arkansas Fort Smith. The degree was phased out in the 2010s after a national goal for healthcare began to place a strong emphasis on having all bedside nurses in hospitals possess a bachelor’s degree or higher. But after COVID, that approach is being rethought. Brooke Gray, a graduate of the UAFS program and the program director, said this is a way to replenish the number of nurses in the Arkansas workforce.
