School of Nursing receives large grant for recruitment

The University's School of Nursing recently received a $650,000 grant to help recruit more young men and women for the nursing field.

Officials said the money will be used to improve facilities and faculty resources as part of a larger effort to recruit current nurses' aides and other college graduates and provide them with an incentive to become full-time nurses. A portion of the grant money also will go to fund night nursing classes at Piedmont Virginia Community College.
