In the News: Florida Team Convenes Partners to Address Nursing Shortage
Jun 3, 2009
Strategic alliances and partnerships are key to the success of our state teams' efforts to increase nursing education capacity across the country. Team Florida offers one recent example of how these partnerships can provide useful venues for change. This week the team convened the Florida Center for Nursing, the AARP Florida State Office, Emply Florida, Workforce Florida Inc., BlueCross/BlueShield of Florida, Generation RN, the Florida Hospital Association, and the University of Central Florida to rally the state to take action on the looming shortage of nurses.
In an article in Chiropractic Economics , AARP Florida State Director Lori Parham noted that in 2008 more than 12,000 qualified nursing applicants were turned away from Florida nursing schools.
Check back for information on the outcomes of this meeting and the work of all our state teams. And congratulations to Team Florida for a successful event!

Strategic alliances and partnerships are one of the most important concepts to help with collaboration and information dissemation. We always encourage our team to do the same. It's great to see it being applied in nursing.
