Nursing programs in Louisiana have been no stranger to the impact of the Louisiana nursing shortage. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana is rebuilding and the demand for well qualified and educated nurses continues to grow. Many of the hospitals and home health agencies are looking to fill their large number of nursing vacancies with registered nurses holding baccalaureate degrees in nursing. The problem is that there have not been enough nurses graduating from nursing schools in Louisiana to recruit. This is mainly due to the limited number of nursing faculty at the nursing schools.

The online nursing programs offer flexible schedules and the opportunity for registered nurses to complete their BSN or MSN at a more accelerated pace than at a campus based nursing school.
