Fred Thompson on the Nursing Shortage

This is good to see someone finally discussing it. Where are the other candidates on this vital issue?

You might think that, with nursing jobs going unfilled, our universities would be recruiting nurses as fast as they could. In fact, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing has reported more than 42,000 qualified applicants were turned away from nursing schools last year because of lack of capacity. More will be turned down every year -- unless we can rapidly expand our nurse training programs.
