Congrats to the Red Wolves btw.

with the new hospital thats being built in jonesboro (which is simply massive) the need for physicians will be there. and a collaboration between NEA baptist and ASU only makes since as that is where the nursing school does all their training. That partnership would simply skyrocket stAte.

Actually the ASU's nursing program works with NEA, ST. Benard's, many clinics and even home health providers in the area. My fiance just graduated with her BSN from ASU and she had clinicals in poplar bluff once or twice.

Is there any other schools in the conference planing on adding a Medical school or that has one already?

Georgia Southerns nursing school is ranked like #49 in the nation with one specific program ranked #19.

Looks like there is a real need for an Arkansas State Medical School:

Currently, the United States is producing primary care physicians at rates that are "abysmally low," . . .
