Nursing 2000--Central Indiana
 
ORGANIZATION
 
Nursing 2000 is a not-for-profit educational organization founded in 1990 as a collaborative effort between nursing practice and nursing education to promote and support nursing careers.  Registered nurses and colleagues from health care agencies, universities, professional nursing associations, and communities work together to advance the mission of Nursing 2000.  The organization is a catalyst to more broadly unite nursing practice and education with issues related to workforce development. 
 
MISSION
 
The mission of Nursing 2000 is to promote and support registered nursing careers to positively impact clinical and academic nursing workforce resources utilizing contemporary strategies to reach diverse populations.
 
PURPOSE
 
Through agreed upon strategies for its collaborating members, Nursing 2000 promotes opportunities, rewards, and role diversity of the nursing profession through public education, career counseling, scholarships, and unique career awareness programming in the eleven Indiana counties it serves (Marion, Bartholomew, Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Lawrence, Monroe, Morgan, and Shelby).
 
VISION
Nursing 2000 will provide unique nursing career development programs and services in central and south central Indiana that focus on diversity and educational advancement opportunities.  These opportunities will result in stronger career pipelines for primary and secondary careers, graduate education, and improve the diversity of the workforce. 
 
GOALS
