Minnesota schools have been awarded nearly $830,000 dollars to enhance their nursing programs.
The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the federal health care law, aimed to strengthen nursing education and practice.
The programs that benefit range from nursing education from entry-level to advanced-practice nurses. The money also goes to help registered nurses complete their graduate education to become nurse faculty, and increases nursing education opportunities for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
