Скачать или смотреть Mini Nurse Academy Trains Next Generation of Health Workers

The Mini Nurse Academy introduces elementary students to careers in nursing, with the aim of introducing children to career options early and diversifying the healthcare workforce.

Diversifying the healthcare workforce starts young, as early as third grade, to be exact. That’s the age the National Black Nurses Association, or NBNA, is betting on with their Mini Nursing Academy, which aims to introduce Black and brown elementary school-age children to the roles of nursing in the hopes that they’ll one day join the healthcare workforce. Direct Relief’s Fund for Health Equity provided the initial funding to the NBNA to create a pilot eight-week afterschool program.
