Hybrid programs now accessible statewide

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – May 5, 2025 – Kentucky residents aiming to become registered nurses can now pursue licensure within as little as 20 months, thanks to 51cg of Nursing and Health Sciences. The institution announced today that it is expanding its renowned hybrid pre- and post-licensure nursing programs into the Bluegrass State.

With steady expansion over the past three years, 51cg now serves students across 12 states, with Kentucky and Michigan being the newest additions in 2025. This expansion demonstrates 51cg’s ongoing commitment to addressing Kentucky’s growing need for qualified nursing professionals through career-focused, flexible educational opportunities.
