24/06/2005: Scotland: Row over nursing recruitment figures:"A row's broken out over a fall in the number of places for student nurses in Scotland. Scottish Executive figures show there's to be a 10 per cent drop in the next academic year. But Health Minister Andy Kerr denies that it's a cut. This year the recommended number for student nurses going into higher education courses was almost four thousand. Next year that figure will be three three thousand five hundred. It's roughly a ten per cent drop."

June 16, 2005: Oregon: Nursing shortage tied to education:"When registration closed for the 2005-2006 Central Oregon Community College nursing program this week, 144 prospective students had applied, instructional dean Celeste Brody said. Only 36 of those applicants will start the program in the fall. "It's hard," Brody said. "People get really mad." Most of the applicants will have taken the prerequisite courses for the COCC nursing program, Brody said. Many will have high grade-point averages and personalities that fit the nursing trade. But, because of a lack of faculty members and money to expand the program here, a vast majority of those who applied will not get in."

June 16, 2005: Caribbean: Global Nursing School Opens in St. Kitts:"People like Kate Zajdel are desperately needed to fill a worldwide shortage of nurses. Yet she was among tens of thousands of qualified applicants turned away by U.S. nursing programs last year because there are not enough teachers or space. The dilemma brought the 22-year-old New Yorker to a new international nursing school in the Caribbean country of St. Kitts and Nevis."
