The Wayne State University College of Nursing has been awarded nearly $2 million in grants related to initiatives aimed at alleviating the state's nursing shortage. Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm in 2007 unveiled the creation of a Michigan Nursing Corps to specifically confront the state's critical shortage of nurses. The governor said the Corps will address the key obstacle to educating greater numbers of nurses - a shortage of faculty - by preparing additional nurse educators to train new nurses by the year 2010. Specifically, the initiative supports colleges and universities with existing, accredited master's and doctoral nursing education programs, aimed at increasing nursing faculty, thus adding new nurses into the workforce.
