South Carolina had 5,000 fewer nurses than it needed in 2003. That number could increase to 15,000 in 2015, according to S.C. Hospital Association. In an effort to improve the nursing shortage, three South Carolina hospitals will donate $1 million over the next three years to increase nursing education at the University of South Carolina (USC) and Midlands Technical College. The hospitals' donation is part of the Partnership for Education and Clinical Excellence, a project aiming to enhance nurse training cooperation between USC and Midlands Tech.. The donations will help add two faculty members at the USC nursing school and will allow 16 extra nurses to graduate each year. The college currently awards 96 nursing degrees per year.
