UIS  will  implement  a  pre-nursing  living-learning  community  for  students  in  the  fall  of  2016  in  Founders  Residence  Hall  (FRH).  The  living-learning  community  will  be  in  partnership  with  the  University  of  Illinois  at  Chicago  (UIC)  nursing  program.



Within  the  nursing  program,  students  can  study  for  two  years  at  UIS  and  then  can  sign  up  with  the  UIC  nursing  program.  If  accepted,  students  will  complete  the  program  with  the  remaining  two  years  within  the  UIC  nursing  program,  while  remaining  at  UIS.</div>

SPRINGFIELD,  Ill.  (WICS)  —&nbsp;A  partnership  between  University  of  Illinois  at  Chicago,  University  of  Illinois  at  Springfield  and  Memorial  Health  System  is  aiming  to  fix  a  local  nursing  shortage.



We're  told  there  are  hundreds  of  nurses  needed  in  central  Illinois  hospitals  and  their  importance  cannot  be  overlooked.



Nurses  are  the  unsung  heroes  of  the  hospital.  They  provide  90  percent  of  patients’  needs.</div>
