I don't think we need a increase of nursing school enrollments. We are fine with however many nurses we have now. One of the posts already says the old nurses eat the young nurses or eat each other. (https://allnurses.com/forums/f8/do-nurses-eat-their-young-302909.html)
If all the nursing school suddenly open the door and let more people in, there will be a overflowed. Think about all those software programmers back in the days, lawyers, MBAs. We used to think lawyers and MBAs can make a pretty good living but now there are too many out on the streets.
I'm sure you guys don't want to see the same thing happen in nursing, don't you? DO NOT increase enrollments of nursing schools please. Otherwise, we will all suffer. Graduate 10,000 new nurses each year across the nation would be enough.
If you are in nursing education, tell the dean DO NOT increase the enrollments therwise, we will all be screwed.
