According to the Maryland Hospital Association, the state’s nursing shortage is expected to reach 10,000 by 2016. This first round of grants is expected to add 300 graduating nurses and add 20 faculty positions across the state, according to the report.
The “Who Will Care?” campaign, which has raised $15.5 million to date to combat the shortage, hopes to add 1,500 new nursing students. The goal of the campaign is to raise $20 million through the private sector and an additional $40 million through state, local and federal funds, according to the report.
