The Wisconsin Center for Nursing (WCN) is pleased to announce that nearly 100 nurses have received training scholarships for the Nurses Respond Now Priority Training. Nurses working in acute, primary, community, long term care, public health and academic settings answered the call to help WCN create a nursing workforce better prepared to address the needs of at risk and vulnerable people, support public health initiatives, and ensure health equity during a public health emergency. Through WCN’s collaboration with the WI Department of Health Services through their Healthcare Emergency Resource Consortiums (HERC) frontline clinical nurses who have completed this training will now have a pathway for connecting at risk people with emergency response services and initiatives in their region when a public health emergency occurs. Thank You Nurses for becoming part of Wisconsin’s strengthened nursing workforce!

It’s not too late. There are still scholarships available for the Nurses Respond Now Priority Training. Won’t you join this important nursing workforce initiative? Any interested nurse is welcome to apply. If you are a nurse working or living in the North Central, Northeast, Fox Valley or Western Region please apply. We have received fewer scholarship applications from these areas and want to ensure equitable distribution of scholarships throughout all 7 of Wisconsin’s public health emergency regions. The next training cohort begins March 11.
