Wanted: nursing students and nursing faculty

UW-Green Bay Prof. Susan Gallagher-Lepak (Nursing) and her counterparts across the nation are concerned about the impending nursing shortage: “The nurse and nursing faculty workforce shortage ahead have the potential to impact both the quality and availability of healthcare in communities across our region,” she says. Gallagher-Lepak has teamed with Nurses for Wisconsin in an effort to alert more students of the growing need for nurses and nurse educators, not only within the UW-system, but across the nation as well. One of the ways the partnership is doing this is through a video series, which aims to attract highly sought after candidates nationwide to the UW-Nursing program.
