Calling All Nursing Students with Big Ideas!
Typically, we focus on career nurses with our Magnet on Us contest. This year, we’re shifting our focus to nursing students—empowering today’s innovators to reshape patient care and advance healthcare practices.
Why are we all doing this? - In nursing school, Joey had countless business ideas but didn’t realize they could be connected to healthcare. Taofiki, on the other hand, had solutions to everyday problems but didn’t know how to turn them into a business. We’ve been in your (all-white) shoes. That’s why we’re passionate about helping nursing students like our younger selves see the possibilities and bring their ideas to life.
Submissions are closed for the 2025 initiative. If you would like to be informed about future opportunities fill out the form below.
