“The SMSU RN to BSN Program does not have you take a set amount of credits each semester. This flexible scheduling was perfect for me as it allowed me to vary the amount of credits I took each semester. I would have struggled without that flexibility as I am a non-traditional student who is also a wife, mother of four, and worked full time while completing my degree. This program is designed to fit into your life, whether you want to be a full-time or part-time student.”

Tag Icon Info Category: Attention

Posted from Tuesday, October 06, 2026 through Saturday, October 31, 2026

SMSU offers several free resources to support students' basic needs, mental health, and overall well-being. Single Stop, available through the Mantra Care Hub, connects students with federal, state, and local assistance programs for food, healthcare, financial assistance, and other needs. Most screenings take about 15 minutes and include an interactive directory of local support services and community resources.

SMSU also partners with Mantra Health to provide free mental health support for enrolled students, including individual therapy, Self Care, coaching, Togetherall Peer Support, ConnectNow, and 24/7 crisis support. ConnectNow offers in-the-moment support with mental health professionals via video or text from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. CT and by phone 24/7. Crisis support is available at (888) 354-2952.

Students who may benefit from additional support are encouraged to go to Single Stop or the Mantra Care Hub at mantrahealth.com/smsu.
