A newly established non-profit organization is aiming to underscore the prominence of Indiana as a stronghold for nursing jobs, according to a press release.
The Indiana Center for Nursing is the umbrella organization to Nursing 2000, Nursing 2000 North and the Indiana Nursing Workforce Development Coalition. Its drive is to unify the groups’ functions and best practices while solidifying the Hoosier State’s future for licensed nurses.
“Under the leadership of its board of directors and its new executive director Kimberly Harper, the center is focused on building partnerships that focus on making Indiana a magnet state for nurses and nursing by ensuring we have an adequate and well educated workforce to meet current and future demands,” according to Donna L. Boland, president of the interim board of directors of the non-profit and associate dean of evaluation at the Indiana Univesity School of Nursing.
The non-profit also aims to embolden the profile of Indiana’s nurses by widening service capacity, expanding the geographical scope to recruit and retain nurses, and enhance development opportunities for innovative, educational programming in the state.
The non-profit also aims to enhance options for establishing financial viability by enhancing opportunities for funding.
