U.VA./VCU
Nursing Students To Explore Jobs During Career Fair 2002
September 12, 2002--
Nursing
students from the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth
University will explore career opportunities at a U.Va. Career Fair
on Saturday, Sept. 28. The event will be held in the Newcomb Hall
Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Co-sponsored
by U.Va.’s Career Services, School of Nursing and VCU’s
School of Nursing, Career Fair 2002 is expected to bring about 40
recruiters from businesses, institutions and health systems across
the country to the University.
U.Va. and VCU
offer the one-day event every two years to provide professional
development services to nursing students and nurses.
In a recent
response addressing the national nursing shortage, a Vanderbilt
University nursing researcher said that one of the biggest problems
is that people are unaware of career opportunities and rewards in
the nursing profession.
