National Nurse Led Care Consortium Create will receive $37,000 to develop an apprenticeship curriculum for perinatal nurse home visitors in Pennsylvania. This work builds on the organizations work to date studying the feasibility and viability of a nurse home visiting apprenticeship. Additionally, the program will pursue state apprenticeship accreditation with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
