Student Nurse Journey Aims to Help Fight the Nursing Shortage by Reducing Nursing School Drop-Outs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 11, 2008 -- Boston, MA September 11, 2008 – Prospective nursing students know nursing is a rewarding career however, many don’t realize it’s much more then comforting patients and carrying out doctor’s orders. They apply to nursing school based on what they’ve seen on TV shows like, Grey’s Anatomy, ER and Scrubs. Once enrolled, those students are shocked when they find out what nurses actually do and see the heavy course load required. Once they realize the reality of nursing, too many drop out because they decide nursing is not for them.

Seats in nursing school are valuable and limited. The Nursing faculty shortage limits the number of students schools can accept. Waiting lists are long and many serious applicants are turned away. It’s more important then ever to be sure the accepted students are up for the challenge and dedicated to the becoming a nurse. Student Nurse Journey is out to help decrease the nursing shortage by giving prospective students a place to see what nursing and nursing school is all about before they register for classes.

Student Nurse Journey (www.SNJourney.com) is a resource community for nursing students. Pre-students easily find nursing concepts they will encounter later in school. It give’s them a better window into nursing to see if it’s the right choice for them. Students will also find multimedia resources to help compliment their textbooks and lectures from pre-requisite sciences through senior level nursing courses.
