My Husband and I graduated nursing school in Pittsburgh in 1995. They were laying off nurses left and right at the time. We moved out of state to get a job. Of course when we went into school the hospiatls were crying for nurses. Now the hospiatals wonder why that can't get any nurses. I think the Pittsburgh shortage will get much worse in the next few years with nursing school enrolment being way down. Who wants to spend all that time in a stressful nursing program to get a more stressful job with inadequate compensation?
