With comments by nurse attorneys Marilyn Westerfield, Myra Broadway, and Janet Michael. With a related article on the University of Southern Maine's (USM) dual-degree master's program in business administration and nursing. Marjorie Lawson, coordinator of graduate nursing programs at USM, said the program has had zero enrollment since its inception in 2002.
