Absolutely @MHCommissioner! Our challenge isn’t there is a lack of education & training opportunities. Many individuals are unable to take advantage of employment/education/training because they need transportation, childcare, etc. – at Greensboro, NC

Retaining NC’s talented nurses is critical for the health of the state. See the projected nurse shortage for yourself with the interactive NC Nursecast tools at ncnursecast.unc.edu
"We have a nursing shortage, straight across the board. Of the workforce that I am most concerned about, I am most concerned about nursing. We have shortages in urban areas. We have shortages in rural areas. We have hospitals desperate for nurses." - @ErinFraher of @uncsheps
