The Florida Center for Nursing is proud to support the Great American Teach-In and school career days. FCN believes nurse participation can make a significant impact and is offering resources to assist Florida nurses with their presentations.
The Great American Teach-In (GATI) is an annual event that takes place in November. At this event, professionals, parents, and community members visit K-12 schools to share information about their career, lead an activity, read a story, and more.
In-school presentations are an excellent opportunity to inspire future nurses, providing students with a deeper understanding of the nursing profession and highlighting the vital role nurses play.
