Nurses Middle College aims to be just what the doctor ordered for Tennessee’s nursing shortage

Dr. Andrea Poynter says her work establishing a new nursing based public charter school in Nashville is in full “overdrive” right now. Poynter is the process of filling leadership positions at the future Nurses Middle College Nashville, while also finalizing negotiations for a temporary space to use when the school opens next fall to an initial class of 125 ninth-graders interested in a career in nursing.
