Nearly $6 million will help Maryland increase nursing school capacity

Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, June 18, 2007

To help ease the growing nursing shortage in the area, the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission recently awarded nine grants worth a total of $5.9 million to local colleges and universities.

The campuses will use the funds to create partnerships with clinics, hospitals, and health systems. The hope, over the next five years, is that the new relationships could produce as many as 1,500 new graduate nurses for the state.

Some recipients of the grants include: Johns Hopkins University, Towson University, Prince George's Community College, and Community College of Baltimore County.
