Vermont nursing schools are trying to deal the best they can with the current nursing shortage crisis in the state by graduating talented and well educated nurses. The struggle lies in the lack of nursing faculty at the nursing schools in Vermont. Teacher to student ratio guidelines in the state have made it difficult to expand the current nursing program class size. Those nurses that are graduating are being heavily recruited by neighboring states.

 

This site is dedicated to working on solutions to impact of the nursing shortage on Vermont nursing schools. One solution is to offer online nursing programs in Vermont. These nursing programs offer students flexibility, a cost per credit that is similar to other Vermont nursing schools and there are no waitlists for qualified applicants. The featured online nursing schools we have put together on this site are CCNE (Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education) accredited and have been active in graduating educated and well trained nurses into the Vermont work force. Take a minute to request free information from the featured nursing schools on this site and learn more about how an advanced degree in nursing can help pursue your personal and professional goals.

 

Vermont Nursing Job Outlook and Salary Information 

 

Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt stated, in a February, 2007 address, "To deal with the nursing shortage we want to increase the capacity of our nursing schools. In rural areas we are having a very difficult time attracting the medical personnel we need." "Here in the middle of a nursing crisis we don't have the capacity to educate the people who want to be nurses," he said. "We have to train a heck of a lot more nurses; we need to make the profession a lot more economically attractive." 

 

The bottom line is that because of this shortage nurses are in high demand and can basically write their own ticket for jobs anywhere in the the Northeast including Vermont. It appears that the future will hold higher salaries for nurses and better benefits, based on the Senator's quotes. There really has not been a better time to start or advance your career in nursing.
