Is there a shortage or excess of nurses?!

There are so many students in nursing school because there are not enough teachers. You have to have one-on-one clinical time with your instructors so you can't have huge classed (90 ppl in an entire class is usually the max). Plus about half of those ppl won't make it. Nursing school is tough! So there is a huge shortage of nurses, especially good ones. Plus there are more nursing retiring right now then there are students.Health Question & Answer
