Speaking on Business: Nightingale Education Group

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Utah is home to several organizations focused on education and workforce development. One is Nightingale Education Group, a U.S.-accredited nursing workforce developer based in Salt Lake City working to close health equity gaps. Chief Executive Officer, Mikhail Shneyder, joins us with more. Mikhail Shneyder: Since its inception in 2012, Nightingale Education Group has worked to build a unique management philosophy and frameworks based on principles from respected organizational thought leaders, including Dr. Swarbrick’s 8 Dimensions of Wellness. Paying a living wage is an essential element of our philosophy, and we announced at our 2024 conference the new company minimum wage. Our 25 dollars an-hour minimum supports our collaborators’ financial wellness, allowing everyone the opportunity to develop and maintain all aspects of a healthy life while maximizing their individual impact. Now serving almost 8,000 nursing learners across the United States, our nearly 1,000-strong team uses impactful organizational frameworks in daily work. This helps our collaborators bring much-needed education to historically marginalized, geographically isolated, and underrepresented communities while also elevating their own lives, families, and communities. We believe every nurse has the power to make a meaningful difference in healthcare and beyond. Derek Miller: Nightingale Education Group is helping build a stronger, more diverse nursing workforce, making healthcare better for everyone. Learn more at Nightingale.EDU.
