I don't claim much expertise at Long Beach or in CA in general but I think my IA knowledge at least holds its own. As I pointed out a few posts ago, there is also a shortage of nurse educators which is step 1 in upping the number of nursing students. You might also note that I previously mentioned covid as reducing demand for nursing schools. As well as a lack of available clinical sites, etc., assuming you want them to have hands on experience. If you come up with something local, I'll be happy to consider it. Otherwise, don't bore me with a CA article from two years ago.

The article wasn't just talking about California, my friend, but in several areas of the country.

As for a local example, if you're in Waterloo/CF it's within 80-90 miles of here, in state as well. Been going on for my 23 years association with the place.

I will try one more time and then give up. I wish UNI the best in their efforts to enter the nursing education field. However, they will be the roughly 36th school in the state to offer a nursing degree up to the MSN level. We are short of nurses and nurse educators in Iowa but it is not because of a lack of schools to prepare them. Few if/any are full to capacity, although, or course, I can not accurately speak for all 35, only the three with which I am very familiar. Covid has adversely affected the number of students entering nursing programs and remote learning has affected the quality. These are national trends that has been reported in all the papers. I have directed my comments to Iowa and not CA and "several areas of the country" from a couple years ago. Enough.

I will I can not accurately speak for all 35, only the three with which I am very familiar.

I know you can't, as you weren't describing one of the other 32 that I've had 23 years of experience with.

Didn't tell me a thing that was new.
