TMJ4's @TheTable: Expected shortage of 20,000 school nurses by 2035

The need is great for school nurses but there's a massive shortage of nurses available to fill the jobs, with an expected shortage of 20,000 nurses by 2035. @TheTable Tuesday night was Kelly Barlow-Eichman, a school nurse and President of the Wisconsin Association of School Nurses. "A school nurse ensures that every student is healthy, safe, and ready to learn," said Barlow-Eichman. "The intervention that's needed by nurses differs for every student depending on their medical needs." The Wisconsin Department of Health Services recently provided $8.3 million to help recruit and retain K-12 school nurses.
