January 18, 2005: Florida: Slowly running out of nurses, Limited-access programs produce limited grads:"Saeeda Lakhani wants to go abroad and "do volunteer work." And in order to get there, she decided to become a nurse. She admitted the path to becoming a nurse has been "rough and very hard." But she has stuck with the program. "Nursing is one of the best ways to help out people," she reasoned. Lakhani, who will graduate from UCF's nursing program in May, is among thousands of students across the nation who want to help out their fellow human beings by becoming a nurse. But this dream will not come true for all of them, and the reason is far more complicated than a low GPA or the type of nursing program."
