Health care experts to discuss nursing shortage

A nonprofit organization that conducts research on health care issues has gathered national experts today to discuss what it calls “Rhode Island’s dangerous nursing shortage.”

The Rhode Island Shape Foundation, which has conducted a study on nursing shortages, has invited university leaders and health care professionals to discuss topics such as why nurses are needed at the bedside and creative models for nursing education. The conference continues throughout the day at the Providence Marriott, with expert lectures in the morning and small group discussions in the afternoon to consider solutions to the nursing shortage, according to Allison Kerbel, a policy communications associate for Clarendon Group, which represents the Shape Foundation.

The conference is not open to the public.
