AN HISTORIC EVENT

This weekend a group of young women will observe a history-making event, as the very first graduates of a brand new Nursing School at Wayland Baptist University San Antonio will be pinned.

A mere two years old, the Wayland School of Nursing is already accredited by the state of Texas and anticipates national accreditation in October. This venture into nursing instruction has been fabulously successful, limited at the current time only by space.

Including pre-nursing students, more than 400 are currently enrolled in the Wayland nursing program in San Antonio, with others in pre-nursing at the Wayland campus in Plainview, Texas. It is highly likely that the School of Nursing will be expanding into other cities in Texas in the near future.

The RN to BSN program is offered on-line, also. Explosive growth is expected in the LVN to BSN program. Since the program and the school of nursing is so new, virtually every event is an historic event, as is the case with the pinning ceremony to be held this weekend.
Dean of the School of Nursing is Dr. Diane Frazor. She is the individual that developed the proposal for the School of Nursing, led it to accreditation in Texas and is now leading toward accreditation by a national body of Nursing.

Wayland San Antonio will have an enrolment of more than 1600 students this fall in all disciplines, judging from current registration figures. It is the desire of Wayland San Antonio to be a training locale for nurses, teachers and preachers. Operating under a strategic plan to reach more than 3,800 students by 2019, the San Antonio branch of Wayland Baptist University is one of fourteen extension centers in six states and Kenya, Africa.
