 In
2005, the School of Nursing & Health Studies at Georgetown
University received a grant from AmeriCorps to launch Nurses
for America (NFA). NFA provides nurses
with a two-year salaried position at a community health
center,
faith-based
neighborhood clinic, or public health department. Participants
received an intensive two-week training at Georgetown
University and have ongoing mentorship at their identified
clinic site, as well as access to continuing education
opportunities.
Nurses
for America collaborates with community clinic
staff to empower individuals to improve their health
and change their community.
