Michigan State University’s (MSU) College of Nursing received three grants totaling $1.1 million to help address the nation’s nursing shortage.
According to excerpts from the article:
The three grants will increase the number of nurse faculty available to educate nurses in Michigan by providing financial support to students in the college’s master’s and doctoral programs. Students in the accelerated second degree bachelor’s of science concentration that were laid off from jobs in Michigan also will receive aid.
In exchange for the financial support, graduate students will sign contracts to teach in Michigan nursing education programs for at least five years.
