At a time when the need for nurses is high, Columbia International University’s new Bachelor of Science in Nursing program was a topic of discussion on the popular TV show “Soda City Live” on WIS TV hosted by well-known Columbia broadcaster Dawndy Mercer Plank.

Director of CIU nursing programs Dr. Jill McElheny outlined how CIU will educate nurses through an on-campus state-of-the-art Skills and Simulation Center and through clinical experience at Columbia area medical facilities.
