In light of the state's critical nursing shortage, a $200,000 state grant is aimed to help build up a nursing education program at a Connecticut college.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell (R) said the grant should result in 32 additional nurses each year from the University of Connecticut's Waterbury and Stamford campuses. Currently, Connecticut has about 53,000 registered nurses.
State lawmakers have reportedly given substantial sums of money to healthcare education in recent months, as the state is facing a grave nursing shortage. The university estimates that Connecticut will be short 11,000 nurses in three years.
