With a national shortage looming, recruiting more nurses is critical to avoiding this healthcare crisis. In a FOX 32 special report, Sylvia Perez looks at a unique program one Chicago hospital has to provide some relief.
Glenn Edburg is passionate about his work as a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit at Rush University Medical Center.
That’s a statistic people like Franklin hope to see changed. He serves as the adjunct faculty for the Rush Men in Nursing program – an organization that’s all about supporting and retaining men in the nursing field. "So students are able to participate and volunteer and go out in the community," Franklin said. "We did a blood pressure and a blood sugar screen last year for men’s health, and not only are they learning more about health, they’re also seeing men in nursing providing this care."
"It’s open to everyone. We welcome everyone to join regardless if you’re a man or woman. We focus on like leadership aspect," Phung said.
