Trine University innovating to meet nursing education needs
As we celebrate National Nurses Week, the nursing workforce is under pressure across the country. Staff shortages, high patient acuity and increasing complexity of care delivery are besetting our healthcare systems. Nursing education programs are being asked to provide graduates who will step directly into practice - faster, more efficiently and with the ability to cope at an increasingly fast pace with changing environments.
