I noticed that the second ward councilman was absent AGAIN.
A chart on Wikipedia says the nationwide shortage of RN's in 2000 was 6%. The projected shortage for 2020 was about 38%.
The two largest contributing factors were aging Baby Boomers and not enough educators to teach the incoming nurses.
The shortage also varies by location. Some areas(liked Des Moines, IA) have a surplus of nurses, while others have a shortage.
