Panhandle nursing shortage halts admissions

Apr. 22, 2005: Florida: Panhandle nursing shortage halts admissions to state vets home:"A state veterans nursing home serving the Florida Panhandle has halted new admissions because of a staffing shortage, and some employees say they are working too many hours. As a result, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, or AHCA, has begun an investigation of the Clifford Chester Sims State Veterans Nursing Home in this Panama City suburb. It is one of six homes run statewide by the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs."

can anyone help me with learning about nursing?
i need help really bad and i need to know what college i should go to.

you can start with colleges in your area and see what the requirements for admission are.

I used to work in Florida. The nursing shortage is pretty widespread throughout the state. Esp. since they have a large population of elderly folks. Pay is not the best and neither are the working conditions. Do not care for the fact that FL is a right to work state.
