A different approach to filling nursing shortages.

Health New Zealand is going to meet with nine nursing schools as they call for more funding.

Perpetual Guardian Foundation is a charitable organisation which gives scholarships to nurses to advance their training via private donors.

Foundation Philanthropy Manager Kirsten Killian-Taylor told Kate Hawkesby they want to help.

She says the charity sector can do its bit as funding is tight in many government departments.
