Divine Savior Healthcare
and MATC Find Creative Way to Educate More RNs
Not too long ago,
licensed practical nurses Lori McGee and Gail Commings had all but given
up on the idea of continuing their education to become registered nurses.
Both women had worked in the field for a number of years, McGee for 17
and Commings for 10, and both had considered getting the additional training
they'd need to advance in their profession. Unfortunately, time, family
and financial commitments had kept them from attaining their goals. see
