Join Mercer's Deidra Abbott and Wendy Woske in this insightful discussion with four other inspiring nurses - for all nurses, all nursing roles.

 

Who Should Attend


In partnership with Black Nurses Association, Greater Phoenix Area, Mercer Government is hosting a webinar geared toward nurses who are interested in learning about careers beyond the norm, beyond the bedside. 


Why Attend


When we think of the term "nurse", the first thing that typically comes to mind is someone who works in a clinical setting, taking care of patients. Did you know that many career opportunities lie outside the typical realm of nursing? 


What You Will Learn


Learn about career alternatives to direct nursing care through real-life stories from nurses who have made the switch, practical application on how to translate "hands-on" clinical experience into non-direct care roles, interview tips, and more.
