Hospital School, University Form Partnership For Nursing Students

Two organizations are teaming up to give nursing students in our area some new options.

The Reading Hospital and Medical Center and Alvernia University announced Tuesday they've formed a partnership.

Students at the hospital's School of Health Sciences will now also be enrolled at Alvernia.

After completing the program, they can continue their education at Alvernia to work towards a bachelor's degree in nursing.

The program will begin this fall.
