Farmers Market recovering, nursing shortage, Les Misérables tour | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Five years after temporarily shutting down over racists statements by one of the vendors, the Bloomington Farmers Market is still trying to recover. Since then, multiple markets have sprung up in the city.

Like many states in the country, Indiana is facing a critical nursing shortage. So schools like Ivy Tech are increasing their nursing programs. Leaders say the state needs too graduate thirteen hundred nurses a year to meet demand.

And a trio of former Hoosiers are back on campus as part of the crew for the week-long run of Les Misérables.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
