Bill Summary

RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII - WEST OAHU TO RE-ESTABLISH ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT HILO TO PROVIDE A PRE-NURSING PATHWAY FOR STUDENTS. .

AI Summary

This Resolution urges the University of Hawaii - West Oahu (UH West Oahu) to reinstate a partnership with the University of Hawaii at Hilo (UH Hilo) to offer a pre-nursing pathway for students, similar to the former "Ike Mauli Ola" program that ran from 2015 to 2017. This pathway would allow students at UH West Oahu to complete prerequisite courses needed for accredited nursing programs in Hawaii and then apply to UH Hilo's Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program, potentially taking some UH Hilo courses and participating in lab activities at the UH West Oahu campus. The resolution highlights that the cancellation of this program created a gap for aspiring nurses in central and west Oahu, and that re-establishing such a pathway is crucial given the significant nursing shortage in Hawaii, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, UH West Oahu is encouraged to independently develop or find partners for a permanent nursing program.
