Linfield staff is also look
ing to hire a bilingual director

and more financial aid admin
istrators to help fund the edu

The college is currently ap
plying for a three-year nurs
ing workforce diversity grant
to staff these positions.
According to King, one of
the boons o f her profession
is its versatility.
Nurses can be found in hos
pitals, schools, private prac
tices, in home health care, and
they are attorneys, researchers
and educators.
“Anywhere there is any kind
of health care given, nurses are
there,” said King.
Many organizations, includ
ing the Oregon Center for Nurs
ing, Oregon Health and Sciences
University and Linwood College
are trying to appeal to the minor
ity population with a directed
campaign and public and private
grants for nursing school.
“I can ’t think another pro-
fession that allow s you to
have contact with other people
in the most im portant m ile
stones in life: the birth of a
child, activities to keep them
healthy, through m inor or se
rious illness, and at the end of
life,” said King.
