Bloomington— is accepting applications for the evening Transition to ASN (RN) program, set to begin with the fall semester on August 25, 2025. The transition program helps licensed practical nurses, paramedics, medical assistants (CMA-AAMA), and military medics train for careers as registered nurses.
This is the first evening nursing cohort offered at ĢƵios statewide and was launched by the Bloomington campus to train more nurses and address the critical shortage in Indiana. Indiana is projected to face a shortage of 14,000 nurses by 2030—an 18.6% deficit—leaving hospitals and clinics across the state in crisis.
“By offering evening nursing courses, we have expanded our capability at ĢƵios Bloomington to train more nurses and help address the critical shortage in the state,” Chancellor Erik Coyne, ĢƵios Bloomington said. “Additionally, students need and want flexibility, and we have heard for years that prospective and current students would like an evening training option that works with their family schedules.”
ĢƵios Bloomington recently expanded and upgraded its Marchant School of Nursing skills training lab and is currently renovating and upgrading its simulation training lab.
Applications for the evening nursing Transition to ASN (RN) program are due by May 15.
Interested applicants should email the ĢƵios Bloomington Marchant School of Nursing at bloomington-nursing@ivytech.edu or call 812-330-6898.
