More strategies to deal with the nursing shortage

The article "Strategies to overcome nursing shortages influence credit ratings" is very interesting and enlightening. Richard Maki, VP of Nursing and CNO at Anna Jaques Hospital, is mentioned for his innovative strategies in dealing with the nursing shortage. Richard is a former colleague and I applaud his efforts and his innovation.

Great blog! what about a hospital induced nursing shortage? I am working at a place that has cut ftes severely (almost in half since last year) because of money issues. we are still expected to take the same number of patients as we had with more staffing. how does this purposeful shortage differ from workforce availability shortages and is there any information on how to streamline nursing care in a time of shortage regardless of the cause?
would appreciate your thoughts
