Lebanon, KY — The Campbellsville University School of Nursing, in partnership with Spring View and Campbellsville University Online, is excited to announce a new educational collaboration that will provide discounted online RN-to-BSN and MSN coursework for Spring View Hospital employees and their families.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing the education of working nurses while supporting their continued service to communities. Through this initiative, Spring View team members will have the opportunity to enroll in Campbellsville University’s flexible RN-to-BSN and MSN programs, allowing them to pursue their Bachelor of Science in Nursing or MSN while maintaining their professional responsibilities.

“We are honored to collaborate with Spring View team in supporting their dedicated nurses,” said Dr. Michele Dickens, Dean of the School of Nursing at Campbellsville University. “This partnership creates an accessible pathway for professional growth, empowering nurses to further their education without stepping away from the vital work they do every day.”

“We are so excited to begin this partnership with Campbellsville University and to create new opportunities for our nurses to continue growing both personally and professionally,” said Vicki Parks, CEO of Spring View Hospital. “Our nurses give so much to our patients, our hospital and the communities we serve, and we want to support them in reaching their educational and career goals. Partnerships like this are a wonderful investment in our people and, ultimately, in the future of healthcare in our community.”

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program and the MSN Program at Campbellsville University offers flexible pathways designed to meet the needs of nurses at various stages of their educational journey. Registered nurses can advance their credentials through the fully online RN-to-BSN option, while ADN/AASN students may pursue a BSN through the Continual Enrollment Program (CEP). The program builds upon foundational nursing knowledge to strengthen leadership, evidence-based practice, community health, and healthcare management skills.

“Education is such an important part of nursing, and we are thrilled to partner with Campbellsville University to make these opportunities more accessible to our nurses,” said Tonia McCarthy, Chief Nursing Officer at Spring View Hospital. “We are incredibly proud of our nursing team and the dedication they bring to their work every day. This partnership gives our nurses another avenue to build their knowledge, strengthen their skills and pursue the next step in their careers, and we are excited to support them along that journey.”

Our Nursing, M.S.N. - Family Nurse Practitioner program prepares registered nurses to deliver comprehensive primary care across the lifespan. The program focuses on advanced clinical skills, health promotion, disease prevention, and management of acute and chronic conditions.

All programs are designed specifically for working professionals; the online format delivers the same high-quality curriculum and expert faculty support for which Campbellsville University is known. Graduates are well-prepared for expanded professional roles, increased career mobility, and continued academic study in a wide range of healthcare settings.

“By offering this opportunity, we are investing in the future of nursing and in the health of the communities these nurses serve,” added Dickens.
