The Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing is using mobile text messages to share timely information about applying for its inaugural graduate classes in Nursing Science and Health-Care Leadership.
The school will broadcast a text message notifying interested students of the opening of applications for the first-ever doctoral and master’s degrees of the Nursing Science and Health-Care Leadership Graduate Degree Program. To sign up to receive this text message, text “apply” to SMS short-code 27138. Be sure to text “y” to the confirmation message received following the initial request.
“This is a great way for us to be sure interested students immediately receive the news that applications are open,” said Heather M. Young, associate vice chancellor for nursing and founding dean for the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. “We’ve heard from a number of students interested in our new, interprofessional graduate degree program and we hope this mobile campaign will allow students to learn important details wherever they are rather than waiting to check e-mail or other sources.”
Hosted by the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, the Nursing Science and Health-Care Leadership Graduate Degree Program will open to the inaugural classes of doctoral and master’s degree students in fall 2010, pending the programs’ approval. The graduate program prepares nurse leaders, researchers and faculty in a unique interdisciplinary and interprofessional environment. The graduate group is composed of faculty from across campus with expertise in nursing, medicine, health informatics, nutrition, biostatistics, public health, law and other fields. The doctoral program, an academic program, prepares graduates as health care and health policy leaders and nurse faculty/researchers at the university level. Graduates of the professional master’s degree program will be well prepared for health-care leadership roles in a variety of organizations and as nurse faculty at the community college and prelicensure education levels.
Young said the school expects final systemwide University of California approval of the graduate degree program this month and is working with the UC Davis Office of Graduate Studies to open the application process immediately upon program approval.
