Putting More, Better Educated Nurses Into Practice Faster
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing will introduce major changes in admissions, curriculum and facilities this fall in an effort to reduce Nebraska’s nursing shortage.
The changes will boost enrollment, accelerate programs, increase the number of nurses graduating each year and better prepare students for an increasingly complex nursing environment.
Virginia Tilden, D.N.Sc., dean of the UNMC College of Nursing, said the changes result from bold action by the college to solve Nebraska’s serious nursing shortage, projected to grow to nearly 4,000 nurses by 2020.
