So a study about nursing careers caught my eye. What Montana's Nursing Search Ranking Actually MeasuresLast place sounds bad, but it isn't proof of much on its own. The ranking doesn't mean Montana has the fewest nurses, nursing students, or nursing programs, and it doesn't mean Montanans are uninterested in health care careers. Rural Montana and the Nursing ShortageThe number is worth paying attention to anyway, because rural places tend to get hit hardest by nursing shortages. Somebody in Montana is probably one Google search away from finding out the same thing.
