Nursing Shortage — Another Take
I'm in to the nursing shortage tonight, partly because I've heard some horror stories again about people's experiences where they needed a nurse and encountered someone without the education or licensure. I'm not out to paint nursing as all rosy. The economic downturn right now is affecting jobs. Read or listen to this newscast: Shortage …
