“We could not be more excited about the formation of the nursing advisory board at Osmosis. We are confident that this impressive group of nursing leaders will provide Osmosis with invaluable input and perspective as we continue our intensive focus on providing outstanding support to nursing students and professionals,” said Jannah Amiel, Director of Nursing Curriculum at Osmosis and Co-chair of the Nursing Advisory Board.
