The Story
The admissions process to Nursing school can be extremely selective, placing nearly all the emphasis on academic performance. In order to grow the WA nursing workforce, Premera worked with local institutions to create the “Holistic Admissions” process. The curriculum would allow candidates with diverse life experiences to rise.

The [heroes]
Hero recognizes hero.
Easily the most rewarding part of this project was meeting the (3) heroes. These were future nurses whom other programs had previously rejected.
They defied the odds, leveraging their real-life experience against outdated test scoring to graduate and become licensed RNs.
