Nursing Shortage: More Jobs Than Recruiters Can Fill
ABC News
No matter how many nurses walk through Michael Fazio's door looking for jobs, it's never enough. Despite a U.S. unemployment rate approaching 10 percent, Fazio's Manhattan-based company, Prime Staffing, which specializes in placing New York-based nurses, has such an extraordinary demand for nurses that it can't fill all of the vacancies. "We're trying to engage nurses from around the country to come to New York and work for Prime Staffing," said Fazio, the company's president.

WILMINGTON -- This semester, UNC Wilmington opened the doors to a brand new nursing building. The facility offers state-of-the-art equipment that will not only train students, but also help fill the need for nurses across the state. UNC Wilmington senior Jillian Lamb said the technology provides her with the tools to make her dreams of becoming a nurse into a reality. "This is exactly what you could see in real life," explained Lamb. "So it's like when you're going on to your clinical sites and you see a postpartum mother with an incision site, this is pretty much what it would look like and pretty much what you would do."
