In the mid 1940’s the visionary nursing community in Shreveport recognized the need for a collegiate-based nursing program. Following the recommendations of a national consultant, five hospitals agreed to phase out their diploma programs opening the door for Northwestern State University to create a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program.
During the early years of the NSU College of Nursing, students were given two options. They could exit the program at the end of three years of study with a diploma, or complete a fourth year and earn a baccalaureate degree. The diploma option was phased out in the late 1950’s.
Dedicated to fulfilling a statewide need for academic opportunities in nursing, NSU established major clinical nursing campus sites in Alexandria-Pineville, Baton Rouge, Monroe and Shreveport. Beginning in the late 1950’s, Northwestern also offered registered nurses the chance to earn a baccalaureate degree through a special program (RN to BSN).
Following many successful years of offering nursing courses over a large geographic area, the College of Nursing consolidated its clinical campuses to Shreveport in 1970. Two years later the College of Nursing initiated two new programs, the Associate Degree and the Master’s of Science in Nursing.
In 1968, the Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology (BSRT) program was implemented in the Department of Life Sciences. This program was placed in the College of Nursing in 1994. The Radiologic Sciences program is offered on both the Shreveport Campus and the Alexandria Rapides Hospital Campus. Radiologic Technology was changed to the Radiologic Sciences program Degree Program in 2008. The Radiologic Sciences program is now housed under the New College of Nursing and School of Allied Health.
The School of Allied Health (SAH) also has the Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) which started in 2009. This is the only MSRS program in Louisiana and one of only a handful in the nation. Additionally, the SAH houses the Bachelor of Applied Science in Allied Health (BASAH) that started in 2012. The BASAH program was the first applied science degree in Louisiana.
The RN to BSN and master’s programs continue course offerings in the Alexandria area. In fall 1999, RN to BSN course offerings were initiated via the Internet for those diploma and associate degree graduates who are interested in seeking a baccalaureate degree.
Beta Chi, the first chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International in Louisiana, was chartered in 1976 at Northwestern State University.

Today, November 8th, marks 123 years since the discovery of X-rays! Wilhelm Roentgen was experimenting in his lab when he discovered this new ray. At the time, he didn't now what it was, so he called it "x." Since that day radiography has evolved into a very specialized medical field. X-rays are the eyes of medicine. Radiologic Technologists, not technicians, go through extensive training much like nurses and other medical staff do, to be able to produce ionizing radiation. There are countless hours of chemistry, physics, radiographic positioning, radiation protection, and patient care classes that are taken in order to sit for our national boards. We are more than button pushers, and if you call us that you really push our buttons! Radiography is an art, and it is so much more than what is perceived by the outside world. It is a growing and changing field that requires us to earn more education every year to stay knowledgeable of our field. So this week, November 5th-10th, we celebrate National Radiologic Technologist week. Please be sure to thank your Radiologic Technologist for their dedication to the profession and their hard work in producing quality images with as little radiation as possible. To all of our fellow Radiographers out there Happy Rad Tech week!

Nurses have been #changinghumanhealth through innovation since the days of Florence Nightingale, who worked to implement sanitation practices to improve patient outcomes. If you have an innovative idea, submit it to our #JNJ Nurses Innovate QuickFire Challenge - learn more: bit.ly/2P8IMyI
Listening to two wonderful radiologic technologist, Dr. Kelli Haynes and Dr. Joel Hicks present great information on “Improving Patient Care and Professionalism in the Clinical Environment”! Great job and Happy Radiologic Technologist Week to all our NSU RTs!😈🙌
I had trouble tagging the other post, but would you mind posting this photo with this caption
"SNA is still selling t-shirts until 4pm today in LA building"
Will you guys be selling tomorrow, as well?
How much??
Is there a way that Alexandria nursing students can have the opportunity to get these?
Take individual photos of each design and post. Alumni would like some as well.
This week is National Radiologic Technologists' Week!

Many people thought Ebola was too contagious to treat, until a student nurse developed a simple method to protect herself so she could care for others. #NursesChangeLives #changinghumanhealth #JNJ
