## Resource

North Carolina faces a severe nursing shortage, projected to reach 12,000 nurses by 2033. The states nursing pipeline is only at 7%, far below the national average. Burnout, workplace violence, and low faculty pay are major contributors to this issue. To address the problem, universities are expanding nursing programs, but a comprehensive solution is needed to retain experienced nurses and attract qualified educators.
