title: Soviet nurses help alleviate Baltimore hospital's shortage.
abstract: A pilot program is boosting a Baltimore hospital's nursing rolls while providing on-the-job training to immigrant Soviet nurses. For the short term, the Soviets fill important non-professional positions in the hospital's nursing department while working toward gaining their nursing credentials so they can become eligible to be hired by the hospital, easing its long-term nursing shortage.
