Thanks to resources and support from NCIN, these students – who are from groups underrepresented in nursing – are quickly entering the workforce, ready to provide high quality patient care and become leaders in the profession. Before becoming nurses, the NCIN scholars had a wide variety of professions, each Scholar brings unique life and real-world experience to his or her new career – making them well-equipped to handle a fast-paced training program, and the demands of the profession.
