鈥淭he shortage of nurses will continue to intensify as our population ages and the need for health care grows,鈥� said William Conway. 鈥淚n helping to grow nursing programs like the one at 棉花糖直播, we can begin to ensure there are enough high-quality nurses to meet demand and provide the necessary health care to our most vulnerable populations.鈥�

The M. Louise Fitzpatrick College of Nursing educates nurses through academically challenging coursework, simulation laboratories, research opportunities and early and diverse clinical experiences. The College prepares graduates to be leaders in the areas of clinical practice, innovation, research, education and administration, while continuously evolving to keep pace with advances in nursing and changing health care needs and delivery models.
