First North Carolina campus aims to meet
growing healthcare needs in the state
Chamberlain College of Nursing is proud to announce the opening
of a new campus in Charlotte, North Carolina, its first campus in
the state of North Carolina and 19th nationwide. The campus will
offer a three-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree
program and is now accepting applications for admission to classes
that begin on Monday, Jan. 4.
Chamberlain’s Charlotte campus will offer an on-site BSN degree
program and is equipped with Chamberlain’s SIMCARE
CENTER™, which provides high-tech simulated patient care
training in clinical learning environments, as well as a Center for
Academic Success that delivers comprehensive academic resources and
support.
The campus will operate under the Chamberlain Care Student
Success Model, offering customized academic coaching and mentoring
to encourage students’ academic success and their transformation
into extraordinary nurses.
“Chamberlain’s philosophy of education, which we call
Chamberlain Care, puts the extraordinary care of our students at
the forefront of all we do,” said Susan Groenwald, Ph.D., RN, ANEF,
FAAN, national president of Chamberlain College of Nursing.
“Faculty and staff provide students with individualized support
from the beginning of their academic careers through graduation,
preparing each student with the strong foundation needed to succeed
and to lead positive change in today’s healthcare environment. We
see an opportunity in Charlotte for Chamberlain nurses to provide
quality care to the community, treating each patient by addressing
their clinical needs as well as considering their cultural
traditions; personal preferences and values; family situations;
social circumstances; and lifestyles.”
Multiple factors are having an impact on North Carolina’s
growing need for nurses in the state, where it is estimated that
there will be a shortage of 20,000 nurses by 2030.1 The elderly
population will double within the next five years, creating demand
for highly skilled nurses to provide care across an increasingly
wide spectrum of healthcare settings.2 Concurrently, the average
age of the North Carolina nurse is rising, with 24 percent of the
workforce expected to retire within 10 years.2 The healthcare
sector is hiring to fill these jobs, making nursing and other
healthcare roles some of North Carolina’s fastest-growing
occupations.3
Chamberlain’s Charlotte campus will be led by Dr. Jason T.
Shuffitt, DNP, FNP-BC, FAANP. A fellow of the American Association
of Nurse Practitioners, Shuffitt previously served as associate
dean of learning and healthcare technology innovations and as a
clinical assistant professor at the University of Arizona College
of Nursing. He has contributed to the advancement of the nursing
profession through research studies on nurse practitioner clinical
education and the development of customized clinical management
software.
“It’s my honor to be the leader of Chamberlain’s inaugural
campus in North Carolina,” said Shuffitt. “I’m working with a
wonderful team to facilitate our students’ success and educate
extraordinary nurses who will be uniquely qualified to address the
healthcare needs of their patients. We have the opportunity to
contribute to improved healthcare in North Carolina through our
students’ passion for caring for their communities.”
Open houses for prospective students will be held at the new
Charlotte campus, 2015 Ayrsley Town Blvd., on Monday, October 26,
and Friday, October 30, from 4–7 p.m. For more information about
