Presented by the Florida Center for Nursing, Frontline Nursing is a podcast that recognizes the impact nurses have on our lives and our communities. Throughout this series, FCN Executive Director, Rayna Letourneau, PhD, RN, will talk with those on the frontlines of health care to hear about the issues impacting the nursing workforce, insights from their personal journeys, and what inspires them.
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 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.
