State Regents, CareerTech sign second statewide nursing articulation agreement

To continue efforts to address the state’s nursing shortage, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education recently signed a memorandum of understanding to establish guidelines for public four-year universities to award students credit for prior learning in practical nursing programs at technology centers across the state.

“This agreement reflects the strong alignment between our higher ed and career technology centers, and that’s going to help every nursing student achieve their goals,” said Gov.
