Keeping Nursing Education Affordable at Salt Lake Community College
At Salt Lake Community College (SLCC), the Nursing Program strives to provide students with a comprehensive, affordable, and high-quality education. As nursing shortages continue to challenge the healthcare industry, training the next generation of nurses is more critical than ever. SLCC’s mission to offer accessible education is made possible, in part, through its partnership with Globus Relief, which supplies crucial medical equipment at a fraction of the typical cost.
Why This Matters:
Nursing students require hands-on training with advanced medical equipment to become proficient healthcare providers. Access to this equipment ensures they’re well-prepared for real-world clinical settings. The collaboration with Globus Relief not only enhances the educational experience but also makes it affordable, which in turn enables SLCC to educate more students from diverse backgrounds. This initiative supports the broader goal of addressing the growing demand for skilled nurses, both locally and globally.
A Unique Model for Affordable Supplies:
Globus Relief’s Nonprofit Medical Supply Store enables educational nonprofits, such as SLCC, to purchase medical supplies at just 1/6th of the regular price. This innovative model allows educational institutions to equip their students with high-quality resources without breaking their budgets. Shania Hewitt, a representative from SLCC Nursing, shared her experience:
"Salt Lake Community College of Nursing offers students a comprehensive, affordable, high-quality education taught by expert healthcare providers with advanced degrees. Access to the best advanced equipment and hands-on experience in a variety of clinical settings teaches the science of healing and the art of compassion."
SLCC’s nursing program provides students with the Associate of Applied Science degree, which prepares graduates to apply for and take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to become Registered Nurses (RNs). It’s a rigorous program that ensures students are both knowledgeable and compassionate caregivers.
The Impact of Globus Relief on Nursing Education:
SLCC Nursing has relied on Globus Relief for years to supply the necessary training equipment. Shania Hewitt explains:
"We have been using Globus Relief for at least five years for our supplies. They are the first company we reach out to as they are fast and reliable. Getting our supplies from Globus Relief allows us to keep the cost of education and training equipment affordable, allowing us to reach more students in the community from all backgrounds."
This partnership has a profound impact, as affordable supplies help the program continue to educate more students, ultimately contributing to the healthcare workforce in Utah and beyond.
Empowering the Next Generation of Nurses:
SLCC’s partnership with Globus Relief reflects a shared commitment to the community. By reducing the financial burden on nursing students, they make quality education more accessible. Each piece of equipment supplied through Globus Relief is an investment in the future of healthcare, ensuring that tomorrow’s nurses are prepared to face the challenges of a rapidly changing medical landscape.
The Importance of Your Support:
By supporting Globus Relief, you’re not only helping to provide medical supplies but also contributing to the education of future healthcare professionals. These students will go on to make a difference in hospitals, clinics, and communities, both locally and globally. Every donation ensures that programs like SLCC’s nursing program can continue their essential work, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed.
At Globus Relief, we believe in the power of collaboration to strengthen healthcare from the ground up—starting with education.
