Featured Role Model
Vanessa Galvan
Vanessa Galvan is currently in the Nursing Program at the University of Texas at Arlington. The experiences that come with nursing school have helped build her confidence. It is easy for her to feel overwhelmed in school or try to learn everything as quickly as possible during rotations. Nevertheless, for Vanessa it's been a journey and learning experience that she would not trade for anything. She especially treasures nursing school as a place where she has made connections with students that will last a lifetime.

Why do we need more Hispanic Nurses?
Out of the 3,000,000 registered nurses in the U.S., Hispanics represent only 3.6% even though Hispanics make up 17% of the U.S. population. Many Hispanic students and parents are not aware of the multiple opportunities that exist in the nursing fields.
