A new workforce development program by two Indiana University School of Nursing professors aims to increase the number of registered nurses prepared to serve rural and medically underserved communities across Indiana.

Dr. Kathleen Williamson and Dr. Deanna Reising have designed the Indiana Rural Nursing Workforce Pathway and Clinical Residency Network to strengthen the pipeline of practice-ready nurses who understand the communities they serve and where resources may be limited. A multi-year Health Resources and Services Administration grant will help make the initiative possible.

Publishing in an academic journal is an important way for researchers to share new knowledge with their peers, but reaching people beyond the scientific community can be more challenging.

Jamie Rausch, PhD, RN, assistant professor at the IU School of Nursing in Fort Wayne, found a way to share her research with a broader audience. Her 11-minute podcast, “The Hidden Life of Fat: How Adipose Tissue Shapes Health Across a Lifetime,” brings her research to life through an engaging audio story for students, researchers, and anyone curious about science.
