    Nursing Shortage Summary

    August 17th, 2005

    nurse4

    Here's a summary of the coverage we've had recently on the nursing shortage:

    The media loves this story - in the matter of 2 weeks, I found individual articles from 5 states lamenting the problem. In IL, the governor just signed a bill that will allow nurses in Puerto Rico to work in IL.

    Just this past week, I posted on the unique challenges that male nurses face.

    Will this nursing reality TV show help or hurt the nursing profession? Answer: it won't.

    Here are some good examples of how communities are dealing with the nursing shortage. Also, let's not ignore the growing trend of using traveling nurses.

    With all this media coverage, let's also not forget: it's not a nursing shortage, it's a nursing faculty shortage.

    At the end of the day, let's not forgot the influence one nurse can have on a patient's life.

    UPDATE: here's the best article I've read on how to retain nurses. (1/30/2006)

    Forgot this little gem: http://www.ahd.com/freesearch.php3

    Type in your favorite hospital and see how much revenue your fav made...


    Here is an example. Not only did Pittsburgh win the superbowl last year they won this too (One hospital in the City of Pgh):

    Total Patient Revenue: $6,398,553,843

    The nursing shortage may be man-made. However, it is very real. Healthcare in general will be feeling the pain of higher demand over supply for decades to come.

    If the healthcare education system does not compensate by expanding and providing adequate capacity to respond to the current and expected healthcare human capital resource shortages, the healthcare delivery system will continue to suffer.

    Furthermore, this is not an employer's marketplace. It is not now. It will not be in the near and long term. Employers need to learn faster and implement what they have learned rapidly to attract and retain quality healthcare professionals.

    Translation, healthcare costs will continue to rise for many reasons. For the forseeable future, healthcare practitioners will continue to gain strength. Practitioners will command all aspects of employment from compensation, work load, work schedule, location, quality of life, etc.

    I have always wanted to know why do our system
    close nursing schools
    announce nursing shortage
    close hospital emergency care
    then turn-around and give 90 billion dollars to re-open schools, and cut hospital jobs? confusing.

    Joe, you're so right. I checked out the salary of an Austin electrician and I really thought I chose the wrong career. Who knew that those jobs are better paying than the health system?

    Its funny, I know you wrote this article quite some time ago. But now with the economy doing what its doing I have plenty of nursing studenst come into my ACLS and PALS classes that just got out of school and cant find a job to save their lives!!!. Kind of sad actually, I am sure it will bounce back for them, but I never thought I would see the day where a RN couldnt find a job.

    Nurses are very important for a health care center. So, shortage of them is a troublesome experience and should be immediately foxed.

    A sizeable digital

    frame
    exists showing how to take old laptops LCD and convert them to digital frames. This has the right idea in part because many of us have collected a number of laptops over the years, they are really hard to throw in the garbage because most still "work." Unfortunately, the new ones work so much better that you will never really go back to an old one except as an emergency. These are great candidates for digital photo frame since the laptop costs no money, because you already got the value out of it. However, it looks like everybody seems to think you should take the laptop apart and mount it in a picture-like frame. Invariably, this reduces the laptop to its parts. Perhaps a waste of a good serviceable or collectable laptop.

    The United States is projected to have a nursing shortage that is expected to intensify as baby boomers age and the need for health care grows. Compounding the problem is the fact that nursing colleges and universities across the country are struggling to expand enrollment levels to meet the rising demand for nursing care.
