Northern Academy allows regional high school students to take pre- nursing courses, helping them move into Northern’s nursing program quicker, minimizing cost, and shortening the timeline to complete their degree. “I love meeting with high school students to discuss their potential nursing career,” said Monson. “When I can help them explore nursing as a career path and share the diverse opportunities available, it's amazing to watch their confidence grow.” As Kiesow and Monson look forward to the inaugural fall 2025 cohort, they also acknowledge the time, effort, and dedication it took to make the program a reality. “Creating a new nursing program involves many carefully orchestrated steps, and every decision has been made with student success in mind,” said Monson. Kiesow continued, “I am a firm believer everything happens for a reason. It was Northern’s time to offer nursing and meet the workforce needs of the region, and for that I am truly grateful.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT NORTHERN.
