title: Talking to high school students about a career in nursing: a "how we did it" story.
abstract: The nursing shortage is deepening in the United States. This requires strategies that will reach yet untapped sources of potential students and increase interest in students that are not yet committed to a career path. Targeting middle school and early high school students with presentations on nursing can influence them to select a career with exciting opportunities that they may not have considered.
