This article discusses possible issues for healthcare in Arizona, due to funding shortages at Arizona State University. Over the past several years, the nursing program at ASU has doubled its student body and faculty size, becoming one of the nation's top schools in the number of nurses that graduate from the program. However, due to economic difficulties at this time, the budget was cut, reducing the number of nursing acceptances.
Due to the budget cut, the author argues that the effectiveness of the healthcare system in Arizona could decline dramatically. The author relates himself to the common person, mentioning the success of the nursing program, and the help it has given Arizona's healthcare system. The author also comments on all the negative aspects of reducing the university program. The language he uses convinces the reader that funding should be provided to the university to keep Arizona's healthcare system safe. This is an issue that Arizona residents need to be familiar with because it can dramatically affect their healthcare.

All nursing programs are already so difficult to get into and cutting the number of students accepted makes it so much more competitive. This is frustrating to me because I am hoping to become a nurse, and even though the demand for nurses is so high it seems like ever program can only except very few applicants.
