Featured Role Model
Nicholas McGowan
Nicholas McGowan is a Registered Nurse from Chicago and graduated from Dominican University. He believes that nursing gives him an opportunity to give back to his community and be a blessing to others. While working as a Certified Nursing Assistant he came to the realization that he loved interacting with others and providing assistance that can be life changing.
Out of the 3,000,000 registered nurses in the U.S., Hispanics represent only 3.6% even though Hispanics make up 17% of the U.S. population. Many Hispanic students and parents are not aware of the multiple opportunities that exist in the nursing fields.
