Learn about the nursing shortage via GFU seminar
Education — University’s nursing director will speak on the issue and others Oct. 15 at GFU
Published:

A discussion about the Oregon nursing shortage, led by Dr. Kristine Campbell, executive director of the Oregon Center for Nursing, will be part of a seminar next month at George Fox University.
Campbell will also speak about health care policy and a nurse’s role in nursing policy development.
The OCN was established by the Oregon Nursing Leadership Council in 2001 to address the state’s severe nursing shortage. The group’s goal is to make Oregon and Southwest Washington a region of choice for nursing professionals and to create a healthier state.
Recent projections indicate the supply of registered nurses in Oregon will fail to meet anticipated demand by 2020. Nursing programs throughout the state have more tha
n doubled enrollment since 2001, but nursing faculty has only increased 14 percent, meaning heavier workloads for existing faculty.
GFU’s bachelor’s degree in nursing takes four years. The curriculum prepares students to become professional RNs and, upon graduation, they are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN state-licensing exam. The deadline to apply to the program for 2010-2011 is Oct. 2.
The seminar, hosted by GFU’s nursing club, will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15 in Room 105 of Hoover Academic Building. Cost is $10 at the door. For more information on the seminar or GFU’s nursing program, e-mail Esther King at eking@georgefox.edu.
