Consider the amazing job outlook for the future of nursing careers. There is an increasing shortage of nurses. The shortage is caused by “demand” that is growing faster than “supply”. Nurses make up the largest workforce within healthcare, and nursing careers offer a wide variety of roles and a broad scope of responsibilities. There are many different types of nurses, and several different ways to obtain nursing careers. Join Professor Judy Sweeney, who has been on the faculty of Vanderbilt University School of Nursing for over 25 years, as she discusses “CAREERS in NURSING”. 2.

REGISTER online: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/virtualschool/registration.htm How did the contributions of ordinary men and women advance the larger movement for which Martin Luther King, Jr. was a symbol and spokesman? Martin Luther King, Jr., framed the goals and strategies of the Civil Rights Movement for a national audience, and with his message of nonviolent protest, he inspired ordinary African Americans to demand equal rights as American citizens. This videoconference will focus on the power of individual men and women who embraced King’s message and advanced the Civil Rights Movement on a local level. By researching these people and the now historic places where they brought about change, students will discover how the simple act of sitting at a lunch counter in Tennessee could be considered revolutionary, and how, combined with countless other acts of nonviolent protest across the nation, it could lead to major legislation in the area of civil rights for African Americans. 3.
