Nursing Shortage
Aired August 17th, 2010
The San Joaquin Valley has a critical shortage of qualified nurses. Many nursing schools have long waiting lists and turn away would-be students because they don’t have enough teachers. One solution: Assembly Bill 867 which would help to create a new nursing doctorate degree at the California State University system. Moderator Terry Phillips leads a discussion with guest experts and listeners. Correspondent Shellie Branco has a special report about job prospects for nursing school graduates.
Panelists include: Kris Aubry, Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Hospital Central California; Michael Russler, Chair of the Nursing Department at CSU Fresno; Christine Lawry-Hawkins, Director of Clinical Education at Kaweah Delta Hospital in Visalia; Pilar De La Cruz-Reyes, Director of Diversity at the Institute for Nursing and Health Care in Fresno; and Gloria Fitzgerald a retired nurse who managed educational development at Fresno Community Medical Centers.
