Pioneering Nursing’s Future: Excellence through Diversity is a TWU College
of Nursing program designed to increase the diversity of the nursing profession. Due to significant under-representation of Hispanics in nursing, PNF targets disadvantaged Latino youth, pre-nursing and nursing students. The program helps disadvantaged Latino students to enter and excel in nursing school. Currently, the PNF program is not accepting any new applications while
the program is restructured.

Through a partnership with the DFW Area Health Education Center (DFW AHEC) and other community partners, activities are carried out to increase awareness of the nursing profession among Hispanics in Dallas and Tarrant counties, provide support for TWU pre-nursing students, and provide scholarships and mentorship opportunities for Latino nursing students.  For more information, please call the DFW AHEC at 214-648-8334 or the TWU College of Nursing at 214-689-6510.
