One of the most frequent
topics for questions, discussions, and comments on the web today
involves the nursing shortage. Last year the New Hampshire
Area Health Education Center decided to compile an informative set
of pages addressing both local and national work force initiatives
that are trying to address this problem.
This information is helpful to nurses, nursing employers,
student nurses, and those who might be interested in becoming a
nurse. The site maintains current links to a wide variety
of Internet resources. We wanted to make sure you had access
to this important information. You can visit the site by clicking
here. We have listed some of the resources they have
on their site below, but we strongly encourage you to use the link
above as they are constantly updating their information.
