Areas most affected by the nation’s current nursing shortage include Nebraska’s rural areas and small towns, but don’t let the obscure statistics fool you. The entire state is undergoing a phenomenal change and it seems no county is immune.

As far as we can tell, an aging work force seems to contribute most to the growing problem. Current statistics claim the state faces a 20% deficiency. There’s that and the problem of an aging population. Elderly patients require more care which in turn, require more nurses.
But just like in other states, a lack of nurse educators and geographical limitations compound the problem as well. Without adequate access to proper training, the state’s nursing problem is doomed.
