The Taste of Nursing: an initiative to attract a new type of nursing student.
Across the nation, a new group of students is electing to enter nursing--those with degrees or work experience in other areas. To address the special needs of these individuals, Taste of Nursing was developed by faculty in a school of nursing in conjunction with local hospitals. This three-session adult education workshop was designed to increase participants' understanding of the satisfaction, frustrations, and opportunities within nursing as well as routes to preparation for this career. Suggestions are presented for program variations that might broaden the workshop's scope.
