U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nevada, is helping medical professionals fight staff shortages in the field. The Nevada leader visited the UNLV School of Nursing on Thursday to highlight her efforts through the bipartisan Train More Nurses Act.

UNLV nursing students dressed in bright red scrubs were hard at work Thursday at the university’s Clinical Simulation Center, where aspiring nurses can participate in real-life scenarios by treating mannequin patients.

As many clinics and hospitals play catch up to the nursing workforce shortage, a Las Vegas clinic is going hands-on with their nurse practitioner students. FOX5 reported on Safe Harbor Medical previously, as they are the clinic that had to take on hundreds of new patients after a local affordable healthcare facility shut down.

Millions of Americans suffer from not being able to get a good night’s sleep. It’s especially tough in a 24-hour city where workers are often on unusual time shifts.

Admittedly, Imelda Reyes' path to nursing followed a non-traditional route, joining the Navy and starting in healthcare finance. Now a nurse practitioner and faculty member at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, it was also rather unconventional for her to volunteer as a graduation marshal just a few months after starting her new role.
