title: Nursing in Taiwan.
abstract: Although 10 years ago there was a crucial nursing shortage, Taiwan is currently experiencing an oversupply due to recent education reforms. Many new junior colleges have now been approved to take nursing courses. Taiwanese nurses are graduating at greater numbers than are leaving the profession, causing an ever increasing surplus.
