There is a nationwide nursing shortage, and in spite of persistent
efforts to recruit nurses, the Department has experienced great
difficulty in filling any vacant positions . Therefore, the Department
has had to rely heavily on the registry services in order to provide
quality nursing care for patients .
On April 4 , 2000 , the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-390

December 31, 2000, to provide nursing registry services at Contra
