A shortage of nurses

This article speaks to the shortage of nurses in the country (and I do not agree with much of it). Well if you think it's bad now wait until we socialize our health care system. At least now the hospitals and clinics have some latitude in how they hire, what they pay and how they recruit nurses.

But too many kids are going to four year colleges to get degrees in sociology, history, and Medieval German studies - and not enough are studying nursing and other practical subjects. Let's get rid of all the subsidies (like low interest loans) for liberal arts colleges and start a dialogue to encourage recent high school grads to study something that is in demand.
