🚨 FLORIDA NURSING CRISIS ALERT 🚨
Florida just hit DEAD LAST in the nation for NCLEX nursing exam pass rates: only 83% (national average 89%.
That means thousands of potential nurses are NOT making it into the workforce… at the exact moment our hospitals and clinics are already short-staffed.
Lawmakers are now pushing for a major crackdown:
❌ Stricter oversight of underperforming nursing programs
❌ Possible closure of schools with consistently low pass rates
❌ New incentives to attract and retain graduates
If this isn’t fixed fast, the nurse shortage in the Tampa Bay area (and all of Florida) is about to get even worse.
Stay informed on how this directly affects healthcare in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Polk & beyond.
