Portal will link nursing students with schools in West Texas
Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, February 11, 2008
A state grant of $298,411 in Texas will help create a program that will match nursing students with vacancies at various schools.
While the name-West Texas Nursing Education Portal Project-sounds complicated, the idea is quite simple. Hopeful nursing students fill out a common form and select three or four schools they'd like to attend. Then, a computer database matches the students with vacancies at schools such as Midland College, University of Texas at El Paso, and Odessa College. In all, 11 institutions are involved.
According to the Texas Hospital Nurse Staffing Survey in 2006, the nurse vacancy rate in the state is 10.2%, 1.7% higher than the national average.
