A press conference was recently held at the University of Mississippi School of Nursing announcing the creation of IteachNursingMS.org.

 

The web site is a comprehensive resource for connecting nurses interested in teaching and becoming an educator in Mississippi schools of nursing.This initiative is just one innovation to address and reduce the nursing faculty shortage.

 

IteachNursingMs.org was developed under the Mississippi Critical Nursing Faculty Initiative, a Partners Investing in Nursing's Future grant funded by the Robert Wood Johnson, Northwest Health Foundation, Mississippi Department of Employment Security, the Mississippi Hospital Association Health, Research and Education Foundation and the Mississippi Office of Nursing Workforce.
