Amid worker shortage, Univ. of St. Joseph offers nursing symposium to high school students

By Robert Storace

The West Hartford-based University of St. Joseph has announced it will be offering a summer nursing symposium event free of charge for Connecticut high school juniors and seniors.

The symposium will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 1 through Aug. 5 on the university campus.

The symposium, which is aimed at creating nursing opportunities for high school students, will offer informational sessions about applying to college and preparing for nursing school; interactive simulations in the university’s Nursing Education and Simulation Center; interactions with nursing professionals; demonstrate the diversity in the nursing and health professions; and a tour of the campus.

The symposium is being held as Connecticut’s healthcare industry suffers from a significant shortage of nurses and the state’s colleges can’t keep up with training enough future nurses. 

Those attending the symposium must be at least 16 years of age.

For more information and to register, interested parties can log onto usj.edu/summernursing.
