The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the severity of the nursing shortage in Wisconsin. Before the pandemic, a nurse shortage of 2,800 was estimated for 2020. That shortage will only increase as the burden from the COVID-19 causes more nurses to leave the profession. To address the basic needs of the future nurse workforce, you must immediately address the critical shortage of nurse faculty. #WNANursesTakeAction
