2/20/2011 10:41:59 AM Topic: Many Nursing School Grants available? christine huges Posts: 16	Nursing is indeed a noble profession to pursue; it is also a profession in which there happens to be a major shortage of qualified professionals. Within the next decade that shortage will reach a critical stage if something isn’t done now to bring in new nurses for the coming years. One of the strategies to combat the nursing shortage before it becomes a crisis is to offer grants specifically for study in nursing schools around the country. This brings in new nurses graduating each and every year and it also, by stipulation in some grants, ensures that these new nurses will serve a minimum term of service in areas where the need is greatest. These are often hospitals or institutions and health care facilities that have a high need for nursing staff.
