The wounds left open in the medical world by a decreasing number of nurses have been bandaged in the past, but the current shortage won’t be remedied as easily, an MSU report said.

There’s nothing more exhilarating for an athlete than taking the field in front of thousands of supportive, cheering fans. It gets the blood flowing, the adrenaline pumping and reminds you how great it is to be playing the game you love.
