They urge Latinos to take advantage of demand for nursing jobs

0

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With the growing demand for Hispanic nurses in the United States, the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) and Hispanic Communications Network-La Red Hispana launched their fourth bilingual annual campaign to provide resources and guidance to high school students interested in a career of high demand, social value and good pay.

With national reach, the multimedia campaign on video, radio and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter makes available to new generations not only a road map to approach the world of nursing, but also the personal stories of young Latinas and Latinos. With effort and dedication they are achieving personal and professional success in nursing.

“It is a great source of inspiration to listen to the stories of nursing students, they remind us all, of the powerful reasons why we decided to become nurses, especially the satisfaction of making a difference in the lives of our patients,” said Angie Millan, ex-president of NAHN, with more than 25 years of experience as a registered nurse in the Los Angeles, California area.

The new campaign emphasizes the importance of Latinas and Latinos interested in a career in nursing to take advantage of opportunities to volunteer, seek higher education scholarships and take math and science courses as early as possible in high school.

Bella Mercado, who recently graduated from the East Los Angeles College of Nursing, is one of the students, who shares her personal inspirational story and inspiration from the work of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, with the sick, most needy and vulnerable children of India.

“Nursing school is one of the most difficult things I’ve done in my life, but now that I’m done … I’m so excited about what I’m going to do in nursing,” Bella says in one of the campaign’s videos.

The stories are available at www.hispanicsinnursing.org and at www.carrerasenenfermeria.org.

“I was moved by the stories of the students and how they felt inspired by the support they receive from the members of the organization (NAHN).  We want to bring attention to these stories so that other students know they are not alone and that there is mentor database available,” said Mercy Padilla, vice president of La Red Hispana.

The Mentor Connection is a NAHN tool for the recruitment and retention of the Hispanic workforce in the field of nursing. According to NAHN figures, more than half a million jobs in the nursing area will be available in the coming years.
