OU Nursing Partnership Agreement

The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing announced a partnership with Murray State Colleg e & the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma - a collaboration that is an important step toward building a qualified, educated nursing workforce to address the critical nursing shortage in Oklahoma, primarily benefiting rural Oklahoma.

Local Tishomingo high school and concurrent Murray State student, Charlee Mayes, shared her story about her desired path to becoming a CRNA. One that begins with earning her associate's degree in nursing at Murray State and continues to the University of Oklahoma.

"For small town students like me, this is a dream come true. Access is what we need. The chance to pursue what we know that we're meant to do without having to move hundreds of miles from home. Thank you all for this opportunity to make my dreams a reality."

Thank you!

"Thank you all who have helped make this possible. It's a historic step towards creating the Southern Oklahoma Center for Nursing on Murray State's Ardmore campus."
