Strengthening the Nursing Pipeline Through Peer Support
As Florida faces a projected shortage of 60,000 nurses by 2035, higher education leaders are rethinking how to prepare and retain the next generation of healthcare professionals. That was the focus of our recent webinar, which spotlighted innovative approaches to student success in nursing education, particularly the power of peer learning.
One of the most insightful voices in the conversation was Elizabeth Jordan, Senior Associate Dean of Student Success at the University of South Florida (USF) College of Nursing. Dr. Jordan shared how USF’s partnership with Knack has redefined academic support for nursing students through a scalable, student-centered peer tutoring model.
