Broaden Your Horizon; Look Beyond Tradition Established in 1965, the mission of the Breakthrough to Nursing (BTN) project is to organize, represent, and mentor students preparing for initial licensure as registered nurses, as well as those nurses enrolled in baccalaureate completion programs, in becoming practitioners sensitive to the cultural diversity that exists in our society. The project promotes the development of the skills needed to be responsible, accountable members of the nursing profession who respect the differences and similarities between people, advocates high quality care, utilizing the principles of transcultural nursing, and facilitates the development of peer support systems, which enhance recruitment and retention within the nursing profession. |

Community health involvement by nursing students has become an important contribution to the health and well-being of the total community. Projects carried out at the local level by nursing students provide a service to the community while giving students an opportunity to utilize knowledge and skills. |
