MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, December 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ALC Home Health, a nationally accredited home health agency serving adults and children across Miami-Dade County including nurses at Miami Dade Public schools for over 20 years, has partnered with Florida International University’s Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences to launch the “305 Nursing Initiative.” This groundbreaking educational program aims to expand clinical training opportunities for nursing students and address the growing demand for skilled nursing professionals in the community.

Through this initiative, FIU nursing students will participate in clinical rotations with ALC’s licensed professionals, gaining hands-on experience in home health care for adults and pediatric care for children attending Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS), where ALC currently operates. In addition, the partnership will introduce the ALC Nursing Student Scholarship at FIU’s Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences, further supporting students pursuing careers in nursing.

Purpose and Impact
Miami-Dade County’s population continues to grow, increasing the need for qualified nurses to care for adults and children in diverse settings. The “305 Nursing Initiative” is designed to create educational and employment pathways for FIU nursing students and alumni, ensuring that the local healthcare system can meet rising demands. By exposing students to real-world home health and school-based care, the program prepares future nurses to deliver compassionate, high-quality care where it is needed most.

Goal
The ultimate goal of the “305 Nursing Initiative” is to strengthen the nursing workforce in Miami-Dade County by fostering collaboration between academic institutions and healthcare providers. Together, ALC Home Health and FIU aim to ensure that as demand for licensed professionals grows, the community has access to skilled nurses ready to serve in homes and schools.
