VT Edition: Vermont’s nursing shortage
Thursday, August 27, 2009

A new survey out from UVM’s Office of Nursing Workforce reports that the median age of nurses in the state is 49.7 years of age, and 92% of nurses report being somewhat to very satisfied with their positions. Though, healthcare experts warn that this may only be a temporary fix to the longstanding problem of the state’s nursing shortage.
