SUMMARY: The nursing shortage in America is expected to intensify this year, prompting a community college in Northeast Mississippi to host a job fair to address the issue. The fair aimed to highlight the positive benefits of working in the nursing industry and prepare future nurses to care for the population. The event allowed students to have on-site interviews with employers, providing them with valuable experience and potential job opportunities. The job fair was seen as beneficial, especially considering the ongoing nursing shortage in the medical field.
