\nThe Health Resources and Services Administration has awarded a $300,000 grant to the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing to provide financial support to graduate nurse practitioner students from underserved and\/or rural areas throughout Nebraska.<\/p>\n

\nThe grant, an Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship, is projected to help 14 or more qualified students across Nebraska in the next year, said Karen Grigsby, Ph.D., professor in the UNMC College of Nursing and lead person on the project.<\/p>\n

\nThe grant’s goal is to increase the number of primary health care providers who can deliver care to individuals and families living in areas that are designated as lacking in primary care physicians or mental health providers. Adding primary care nurse practitioners in the areas of family health, adult-gerontological health, pediatric health, women’s health, or psychiatric mental health will improve the health status of individuals and families living in these underserved areas. <\/p>\n

\nAbout one half of the resident students who’ve graduated from the UNMC College of Nursing master’s degree in nurse practitioner specialties live in rural and\/or underserved areas, Dr. Grigsby said. About 80 percent of the graduates stay in Nebraska after graduation, she said.<\/p>\n

\nThrough world-class research and patient care, UNMC generates breakthroughs that make life better for people throughout Nebraska and beyond. Its education programs train more health professionals than any other institution in the state. Learn more at <\/em>unmc.edu<\/em><\/a> and follow us on social media. <\/em><\/p>\n
