SUMMARY: The need for nurses is increasing globally, with an estimated 1 million nurses retiring by 2030 in the US. Mississippi University for Women hosted a job fair to help aspiring nurses connect with over 30 companies and medical agencies. Nursing students expressed their need for job opportunities and scholarships, emphasizing the importance of such events for their future careers. The nursing program at the university is highly respected and known for providing opportunities for students to meet future employers and attend conferences. State lawmakers in Mississippi previously proposed a bill to support nurses practicing in rural and underserved areas, but it did not pass. The demand for RNs is predicted to increase by at least 7% over the next decade. This information was discussed by Jake White from WTVS in the studio.
