Why Can't We Just Hire More Nurses?

We need special training, right for nurses. You can't just kind of walk in from another sector and become a nurse. There's at least two, up to four years of training. And then you need extensive on the job training. We have a pipe line problem. How do you get people into the field? Every nursing school position, every student position, there are eight to ten people behind them that we turn away because we don't have enough capacity. The they're worried about retribution. They'reworried about getting fired. They're worried about losing their license. So until we solve that problem, we're not going to solve the mental health crisis among nurses.
