Ohio State University is trying to help current and future registered nurses learn more about opportunities in primary care. Employment of RNs is projected to grow 16% from 2014 to 2024, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor.

The university says this is a new focus in medicine and currently, only about 10% of nurses are working in primary care settings.
