Study says Wisconsin nurses are older than overall work force

The median age range of Wisconsin nurses is 45 to 49 years old, compared to 40 to 44 years old for the state?s work force overall, according to a survey released Thursday of the state?s 77,500 registered nurses. The future of nursing will be addressed in a free lecture at UW-Madison Oct. 15 by Donna Shalala, UW?s former chancellor.
