The headlines have been prominent and frequent in national media, and the message is clear: National demand for professional nurses in all areas is far outpacing the number of practicing nurses. From emergency rooms to walk-in clinics, nurses' contributions to patient care have never been more important — or necessary. Nursing majors bring heightened knowledge of health care practices and technologies and an acute ability to integrate a patient's health care and personal and spiritual needs to deliver high-quality, evidence-based nursing care.
