title: Recruiting future nurses: a collaborative project.
abstract: Society as a whole must be involved in making certain there are enough professionals in the future to provide care for the health needs of both rural and urban communities. As a result of this need, Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) across North Carolina have expanded their health care career awareness efforts. One AHEC focused on the concept of awareness of nursing careers by the community, for the community. This project is ongoing and, through collaborative efforts, keeps nursing career awareness in the forefront.
