Launch your nursing career
Abstract:
The nursing departments of three hospitals and a community college in southern Maryland collaborated to develop a solution to the area's nursing shortage. "Launch Your Nursing Career" (LYNC) brings high school students into contact with working nurses during a 2-year period. Participants attend summer classes at the college and work with nurse preceptors in the community hospitals. In addition, nurses in administrative or teaching positions establish mentor relationships with the participants.
