It s been a whirlwind year for health care professionals. Students, staff and faculty at both North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota said it s not necessarily changing what they teach but how COVID-19 fits into the picture.
Both schools said, while it s a little too early to get a good count, they re seeing a slight increase in the number of graduating high school seniors wanting to become nurses.
