[nursinghumor]

April 19, 2005: Massachusetts: Nursing school enrollment dropping nationwide:"Despite efforts by the University of Massachusetts and the federal government, the shortage of nurses is worsening here and across the country and could be five times worse in 15 years. Undergraduate enrollment in nursing on this campus doubled this academic year compared to last year, according to Eileen Breslin, dean and professor of the UMass School of Nursing. Beginning this year, a class of nurses is graduating every December and May. "The fact of the matter is we are preparing more nurses now than in the history of our country at UMASS and across the United States," Breslin said."
