Also: New era begins: Texas Tech nursing - El Paso Times
Texas Tech nursing Josefina Lujan, who was named the new regional dean for the Anita Thigpen Perry School of Nursing at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, received a congratulatory hug from daughter Bertha Lujan and aunt Tita Lujan at the conclusion of a news conference Monday.
The school announced the expansion of its program to El Paso, which will begin in January and will offer a one-year degree in nursing to those who already have a bachelor's degree in other areas.
"It ushers in a whole new era for the nursing profession in El Paso," Lujan said, adding that this could be a first step to an eventual establishment of a full nursing program in El Paso.
