2005-05-13: Air Force meeting nurse recruiting and retaining challenges:"The nurse shortage is a growing national and international problem, but Air Force officials are taking several measures to sustain its 3,608 person active-duty nurse corps, the Air Force's assistant surgeon general for nursing services told a Senate panel May 10. "The nurse shortage continues to pose an enormous challenge, and we need to maintain robust recruiting to sustain our nurse corps," Maj. Gen. Barbara C. Brannon told the Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on defense. "This year we have already brought 110 new nurses onto active duty, slightly more than at this point last year."
