    What stood out about UNMC during your tour?<\/B><\/p>\n

    All the truly fantastic things that happen on this campus. We had a great discussion with the nursing college about the needs and challenges they face with the nursing shortage. We also had an interesting discussion with campus leadership on health care reform and cancer research and treatment.<\/p>\n

    What do you want UNMC employees to know about you?<\/B><\/p>\n

    I have an interest and respect for what they do and am interested in growing a stronger Nebraska. The medical center is a big part of that.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
