There's a reason why nursing is typically the most trusted profession in the world, says Dr. John Smith-Coppes, Vice President and Executive Director of Nursing at Rasmussen University

It has to do with a genuine desire to serve others. Smith-Coppes and his colleague Dr. Joan Rich, Vice President of Nursing, are doing everything they can to sustain that trust. The goal of their nursing program at Rasmussen University is to turn out the very best, most competent nurses, no matter what the circumstances. In this episode of Raise the Line, Rich and Smith-Coppes share how they embrace innovation and find solutions in face of the challenges posed by COVID-19. Tune in to learn more about the broad range of programs that Rasmussen offers, with paths of all kinds for people with different needs and seeking different degrees and certifications, from LPN through DNP. Jannah Amiel, RN, facilitates as Rich provides a public health perspective and Smith-Coppes an operations perspective on the state of the healthcare system today, a unique time when there is at once a nursing shortage as well as renewed interest in the field.
