The latest push to fill job openings in the state of South Dakota is aimed at recruiting nurses.

Lynn White, Ph.D., is an associate professor and program director of nursing at the School of Health Professions at Augustana University. Anna Sudbeck is a nursing student at the university.

They share their paths into nursing and why enrollment isn't keeping up with the demand for nurses in the state.
