Maryland tackles state nursing shortage - increase educators

Maryland is predicted to be short 10,000 nurses in 10 years, prompting the state to take action to double the number of nurses educated in state in two years. The plan will create 1,800 new students in 2009, raising the total number of nurses studying in the state each year to 3,800. The plan is projected to cost an estimated $59 million in the first two years, two-thirds of which officials hope will be received from the state.
