First of all, I have to confess that I am NOT a nurse. I'm a freelance reporter/writer. I write frequently for Nursing Spectrum, NurseWeek and Minority Nurse magazines. I've been asked to write a story on the Connecticut nursing shortage and why it is worse than in any other New England state. I've left messages with the Connecticut Nurses' Association, Connecticut League for Nursing, and the Connecticut Hospital Association. Are there any other sources you can recommend? Do you have any insights as to why the nursing shortage is worse in Connecticut than in other New England states? Thanks. Scott
