Needs Assessment Projected that 3.1 million new healthcare positions will be available by year million positions will be vacant to replace retiring healthcare workers It is estimated that by the year 2020, there will be a shortage of 800,000 nurses in the healthcare workforce

Healthcare careers fill a critical need in communities where inadequate care is received by minorities and disadvantaged populations

Projections Year 1 6 schools and 125 students, parents and teachers/administrators Year 2 10 schools and 250 students, parents and teachers/administrators Plan summer camp Year 3 14 schools and 350 students, parents and teacher/administrators Implement summer camp

Reality Year 1 Program planned, administration change, 1 career day Year 2 12 schools and 551 students, parents and teacher/administrators Summer camp implemented Year 3 14 schools and 669 students, parents and teachers/administrators

Nursing Students to the Rescue In Year 3, several undergraduate Nursing students updated the KIHC powerpoint and presented the program in several middle schools Nursing students 1. were very computer savvy and created attractive powerpoint presentations 2. had a good rapport with the students

Replication Seek funding opportunities at local and regional levels Utilize undergraduate nursing students for KIHC presentations Utilize undergraduate students in other health career majors for KIHC presentations Partner with local schools, church groups, boys and girls clubs and rec centers for program implementation
