The opportunities for nurses in the state of Nebraska are great. The job openings are predicted to increase by as much as 25 percent through the year 2012. The Nebraska Center for Nursing has dedicated itself to both recruiting as many nurses as possible as well as retaining the nurses once they get there. To deal with the nursing shortage the two key missions of this group are to provide incentives and increased accessibility.
Nebraska is referred to as the corn husker state. It has the largest sand dunes across North America. If you venture to the center of the state, which is north of the Platte River you will discover more than 20,000 square miles of sand dunes stretched across the plains. This is something all nurses in the state must see!
