Through the efforts of the Office of Nursing Workforce our state's workforce will be strengthened and our healthcare system is able to better respond to changing our needs. I am proud of the efforts of the ONW and the work they are doing to prepare for our future."
Haley Barbour, Governor of the State of Mississippi
