This is a light pole for the new Bill Howard Ballpark, which is under construction on our West Campus. It’s one of several such poles that will be placed in the next few days, weather permitting. They will reach 80 feet above the ground.

SouthArk prepares more than 100 graduates for the nursing profession annually, and this fall we will start the only RN program of its kind throughout the region, which will mean still more nursing grads.

At a time of uncertainty in the labor market, nursing offers not only stability but, for some, a pathway to real prosperity.

Healthcare has generated some of the most consistent job growth of any U.S. profession since the early 1980s, thanks to soaring healthcare spending and the aging population.

The median annual wage for registered nurses in the U.S. is $93,600, compared with $49,500 for all occupations, according to the Labor Department. For nurse practitioners and others with advanced degrees, it is $132,050.

The profession’s future looks bright. The Labor Department projects that employment of advanced-degree nurses will increase by 35% from 2024 to 2034, eclipsing the expected 3% growth across all occupations.

Registered-nurse employment is projected to rise 5% over that period.
