Black youth seeking a higher education and nursing career, need to be prepared more than ever. Among many aspiring nurses, many qualified applicants are being turned away from programs or put on waiting lists. Our youth will be prepared by enhancing their preference for selection and will have a proactive plan in place in the case that they must still wait.

Organized

While applying to nursing school may include some of the same skills in applying to college, the process requires more than one would imagine. It's not just about "what school should I go to", its also about keeping up with everything about those schools and when you need to apply. Students need to be organized in where they apply to school, for nursing scholarships and when they present for interviews.

Inspired

When black students go to nursing school, they may find that they may be one of a few or the only one in their program, that their instructor does not look like them or can identify with their needs. Students need to feel empowered in staying laser-focused on their goals and know there were others before them and they have a network depend on during those low moments.
