Northland Community and Technical College works to quickly train Minnesota National Guard in nursing
Nursing instructors at Northland received word on Friday, Nov. 19, that 16 Minnesota State colleges would be asked to train national guardsmen, to temporarily alleviate a severe shortage of workers in long-term care facilities, where industry advocates say workers are facing burnout. The following Monday they got the go-ahead to streamline their course. Jodi Stauss, dean of Northland’s health, public services and technical programs, and instructors Amanda Arneson and Karen Znajda, took that week to organize the course, not including the Thanksgiving holiday.
