On Monday, March 17, eight BSN students were interviewed for a story on nursing and the nursing shortage that appears on ABC ‘Talk Back,’ an Internet show that is part of the national ABC network family.

ABC ‘Talk Back’ solicited help from nursing schools across the country to gather video-diary submissions from students talking about why they went into nursing, what challenges they have faced during school and how they think the nursing shortage will affect their career. More than 20 SON students responded to the call for participation, and eight were able to fit the interview into their schedule.

Ed Dills, Tiffany Thompson, Adam Smith, Kam Dubal, Sarah Nantz, Melissa Manero, Matt Feinburg and Paul Couch all gave interviews. Some of their interviews appear as part of a larger story on the ABC News Web site. To view the story, click here:
