Adopt-A-School Program: recruitment initiative of New York Counties Registered Nurses Association. District 13 education committee.
The goal of this program was to alleviate the existing nursing shortage in New York City by developing recruitment models appropriate for students in the City's high schools. The rationale was that well-informed nurses could create an attractive image of nursing by presenting programs to students, teachers, and guidance counselors. The program was successful in clarifying misconceptions and increasing the knowledge base regarding health issues and concerns and the role of the nurse.
