Kid Made Camp opened its booth at Sisters Farmers Market on
a sunny day at Fir Street Park. Local kids spent the week making
crafts and food, learning about entrepreneurship and marketing,
and gaining experience with customer service and sales. On
Friday afternoon, they sold nearly $200 worth of their wares to
enthusiastic market-goers. Sisters-based Kid Made Camp also
offers a week-long course in Bend.

Nursing program on
tap at OSU Cascades

C O RVA L L I S – T h e
Oregon State University
Board of Trustees Monday
unanimously approved a new
program at OSU-Cascades
for registered nurses wanting
to earn a Bachelor of Science
in nursing.
The board unanimously
also amended the construc-
tion budget and plan for the
Marine Studies Building in
Newport and approved a
remodeling project at Finley
Hall, a residential dormitory
on Oregon State’s Corvallis
campus.
The Bachelor of Science
in nursing program is sched-
uled to launch in the 2019-
20 academic year as a part-
time, fully online program
aimed at licensed registered
nurses seeking to advance
their careers while continuing
to work. With five to seven
credits per term, the program
could be completed by nurses
in two years.
The program, which still
needs the support of the
statewide public universi-
ties’ provosts’ council and
the state Higher Education
Coordinating Commission,
would be open to all regis-
tered nurses but is designed
to increase diversity in nurs-
ing leadership positions, par-
ticularly among nurses who
are bilingual.
“This program will pro-
duce high-quality leaders in
the nursing profession while
also making the profession
more diverse and emphasiz-
ing public health and service
to rural communities,” OSU
President Ed Ray said. “It will
cost half the price of many
other bachelors of science of
nursing programs in Oregon,
and when future demand war-
rants it, we will offer the pro-
gram as a one-calendar-year
program.”
The board noted the pro-
gram will address a shortage
of bachelors of science of
nursing-trained nurses in the
state and in particular Central
Oregon, where fewer than 40
percent of nurses have a bach-
elor’s degree.
...improving health
and wellness is a
signature area of
distinction for OSU.
— OSU President Ed Ray
The program, a partner-
ship between OSU-Cascades,
Central Oregon Community
College and St. Charles
Healthcare System, will focus
on recruiting students from
COCC and the greater Bend
area. While the program is
open to all licensed nurses
in Oregon, it will focus on
recruiting students from
COCC and nurses in Central
Oregon.
“The program supports
our land grant mission of
affordability, access and
places a special emphasis on
rural health issues,” said OSU
President Ed Ray. “In addi-
tion, improving health and
wellness is a signature area of
distinction for OSU.”
