Reply #53: They do the same thing they have done for the Nursing shortage.... [View All]

go out to the Nurse tree and pick the number they need. In the meantime the number of Nurse educators decline as their average age increases. If they funded Nurse Education like they fund Doc education-we wouldn't have this problem....and you need a damn site more nurses than you need docs. They are not putting some of the Nurses to work now and the new graduates are leaving the profession before we can get them seasoned-and we need every last one of them.

I must say I totally agree with the comments about directing students to trades. My brothers did just as well with their trades education as I did with my academic education...with a lot less trauma in the process. Frankly, I think I would have been better served never having left the Reservation save to get Nursing training.
