The situation is much like the perfect storm: retiring nursing faculty members; a nursing workforce of advanced age and retiring; our local population swelling 22% by 2020; and baby boomers’ ranks continue to age and require acute health care services. As the forces merge, the problem heightens. The result: disaster.
