University of Kentucky doubles admissions to accommodate more students

Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, January 8, 2007

Beginning this fall, nursing classrooms will be chock full at the University of Kentucky.

The school, which admits 80 students each year (40 each semester), will now make room for 160 future nurses in hopes of curbing the shortage in the state. The hiring of eight new faculty members over the next three years and a collection of adjunct clinical instructors will help the school handle the growth.

The change is in response to recent semesters, which have seen more than 100 qualified applicants turned away.
