Thanks for bringing these facts and figures to the forefront.Yes, there is a nursing shortage, and it will get worse. You make a good point; there are many shortages in other health care workers/professions who are equally vital to maintaining a strong Healthcare system.
The word is out! Now it's time for improvements in recruitment and retention strategies to be accepted and enforced. the public is still in the dark as to the medical emergency of insufficient health care workers. Sound the alarm via the media for public response.
I didn;t think this was such a big deal. You have definately shown me the importance of this. To think I was almost in nursing school!
Pretty scary--the public is still not aware of these facts and figures. We must continue to spread the word and retain our skilled staffs.Thanks for a great article
