Welcome to the new and revised Texas Health Occupation Association, Inc, website!
HRSA–Health Resources and Services Administration–distributed the following announcement to draw attention to National Nurses Week, May 6-12 to provide an opportunity to recognize the multitude of ways the nursing profession contributes to the health of the nation. This is an exceptionally exciting time for nursing in our country, since the work nurses do is more important than ever.
To celebrate National Nurses Week, HRSA has created a webpage where you’ll find a number of useful tools including:
- A video about the Affordable Care Act
- An infographic, highlighting some of HRSA’s programs
- Links to HRSA’s nursing education and training programs, scholarship and loan repayment programs, and other resources.
