Yancey School of Nursing (YSN) at Kentucky Christian University recently received two major honors.
YSN was named the No. 1 Nurse Practitioner Program in Kentucky by nursepractitioneronline.com, which assesses online educational programs in this field. Among other criteria, KCU’s program was rated on graduate acceptance rates, competitiveness of the institution, accreditation status, and annual tuition and fees.
YSN’s online RN to BSN program also was honored—for the second consecutive year—as the best program of its kind in Kentucky by RegisteredNursing.org.
Information about YSN generally, and these programs specifically, is available at www.kcu.edu or (606) 474-3252.
