Show Notes
Utahs healthcare spending is surging, driven by a severe nurse shortage. With just over seven nurses per thousand residents, one of the lowest ratios in the country, hospitals are turning to expensive travel nurses and overtime to fill gaps. This leads to higher medical bills, steeper insurance premiums, and slower patient care. Nightingale College is stepping in, reducing tuition for Utah students to train more nurses. Investing in nursing education and removing barriers could help Utah build a stronger, more affordable healthcare system.
