Show Notes
Alabamas nursing shortage is being tackled by the University of Alabama, which plans to double enrollment at its Capstone College of Nursing. This initiative aims to produce over 500 new nurses annually, with a goal of over 3,400 students by 2030. The shortage, exacerbated by limited training spots, lower pay, and competition from high-salary states, is being addressed by DCH Regional Medical Center through long-term recruiting and retention efforts. The university also plans to hire more faculty, strengthen partnerships, and build a pedestrian bridge for easier clinical training.
