The event is being held to promote nursing education and opportunities. The nursing shortage in Nebraska is cause for concern among nursing colleges, hospitals, Nebraskans and legislators who are working together on a solution. As the population ages, the shortage is expected to worsen if not successfully addressed. Higher degrees in nursing are important because they enable nurses to function in a variety of roles and settings, said Dani Eveloff, recruitment coordinator for the college. There are many benefits in a nursing career including job flexibility, good pay, bonuses and loan repayment, job security and a personal sense of fulfillment in a career choice.
Children are welcome.
An exploratory room with educational health activities will be set up for children. Faculty will be available to speak with participants. Free parking is available in the parking lot just to the east of the college.
