Research College of Nursing has expanded its Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) program across six hospitals within HCA Midwest Health, Kansas City’s leading healthcare provider. As the first DEU program in Kansas City, this unique instructional model prepares undergraduate students beyond the traditional clinical setting and allows nursing students to learn at an exponential rate.
