Health care facilities face skills gap when hiring nurses
Health care hiring is expected to increase this year, more for outpatient settings than hospitals, and employers will face a skills gap in hiring nurses because of expansion in areas such as population health management, patient outreach and care coordination. Carolinas HealthCare doubled its number of advanced-practice nurses over five years to increase its primary-care capacity. Modern Healthcare (free registration) (1/17)

Hospital president: More nurses get executive posts beyond CNO
Nurses who move up to executive positions evaluate patient care through a holistic approach, says registered nurse Eileen Whalen, president and chief operating officer at the University of Vermont Medical Center. More nurses are getting leadership positions other than chief nursing officer, but the profession still has a long way to go before nurse leaders are common in the executive suite.

Neb. medical center expansion aims for rural recruitment
Officials with the Health Science Education Complex being developed in central Nebraska say that if nurses, physicians and other practitioners get training in rural areas, they may be more likely to practice there and ease workforce shortages. The expansion includes the University of Nebraska Medical Center's College of Nursing in Kearney. Plans call for increasing the number of nursing graduates, which interim Assistant Dean Mary Ann Metz says may translate into nurses staying in rural Nebraska. Lexington Clipper-Herald (Neb.) (1/16)
