Nurse demand high in Va., with emphasis on higher degrees
Most Piedmont Virginia Community College nursing graduates got jobs last year, many at the University of Virginia Medical Center or Martha Jefferson Hospital. Health and Life Sciences Dean Kathy Hudson expects that trend to continue, and says area hospitals are looking for nurses with advanced training and at least a bachelor's degree. Many graduates sign job contracts that have them going back to school within five years to obtain a bachelor's degree, and the University of Virginia has a program that pays for its nurses to get a BSN.

Medline Chief Nursing Officer Martie Moore says more needs to be done to protect nurses from blood-borne pathogens, physical injury, dermatitis related to hand hygiene and the influenza and cold viruses. The rate of illness and injury at hospitals is almost double the rate for all private employers.
