Agency tackles nursing shortage

November 10, 2004: California: Agency tackles nursing shortage:"In an effort to address a region-wide shortage in nurses and health care educational facilities, a local agency is considering donating up to $5.5 million toward a proposed third building at Cal State University San Bernardino's Palm Desert campus. At a meeting Tuesday, a Desert Healthcare District task force unveiled its written recommendation, which includes a $1 million sum to be given in April and a consideration of an additional $4.5 million added by June 2007."

I can applaud them for the fact that they're helping increase the capacity of local schools to produce nursing graduates. I'd also like to know what's being done to address the nursing faculty shortage that may prevent this facility from ever opening it's doors or operating at capacity.

Maybe they should take a look at helping to increase the numbers of currently practicing nurses, by addressing the nurse to pt ratio with some of that money.

Re: Agency tackles nursing shortage

Heh, heh,

You kidding me? It's much easier to throw money at the educational system and get your picture in the paper.

You know it's all about good Public Relations. . .
