UDM College of Health Professions receives Michigan Nursing Corp Grant
University of Detroit Mercy's College of Health Professions was recently awarded a grant for $258,280 from the Michigan Nursing Corps for its recent proposal addressing the nursing shortage issue.
The critical shortage of nurses and educational faculty is both a public health concern and an economic development opportunity for Michigan. The focus of the Michigan Nursing Corps award is to help increase the number of educational and clinical nursing faculty and reduce the long wait periods currently experienced by nursing students.
Dean of the College of Health Professions Suzanne Mellon, PhD, RN, received the award last month by the State of Michigan's Department of Community Health and the Department of Labor and Economic Growth.
