High School Program Helps Nursing-Hopefuls Get Foot in Door

Published: Feb. 7, 2023

A unique program partnership between Methodist Fremont Health and the Fremont Public Schools has given local high school students the opportunity to chase their dreams of becoming a healthcare worker after graduation.

The School to Career program at Fremont Public Schools allows for students at Fremont High School (FHS) to get on-the-job training in a variety of fields, one of which has taken on more importance in the COVID-19 era: nursing.

Although the School to Career program at FHS partners with dozens of local businesses and job opportunities, the pairing with Methodist Fremont Health to coordinate the hosting of students interested in a career in nursing has fit a pressing need: replenishing the nursing ranks.
