Nursing shortage

Learning the history of nursing is vital in understanding nursing today. How Florence Nightingale changed the history of nursing? Why there is more female than male nurses? Why nurses were considered subordinate to physician? Why the contribution of physicians received more recognition than nurses? Why Filipino nurses is abundance in the United States hospitals? This paper would discuss the part of history of nursing that answered those above question. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE Florence Nightingale

the year 2020 there is a projected shortage of physicians, a shortage of about 20,400 is estimated according to HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration). Along with the shortage of physicians, nurse practitioners offer lower the cost of health-care which helps many patients. Nurse practitioners need constant education. To obtain the title Nurse Practitioner one must first receive you RN (Register Nurse), then obtain a BSN (Bachelor in Science of Nursing) which takes about 4 years of both

Horizontal Violence: A Detriment to Nursing Typically, when someone thinks of a bully, childhood memories of scuffles on the playground come to mind. Bullies are not usually people that are associated with adult life. However, nursing has changed this stereotypical view. For many nurses, bullying may be as great a threat every day at work as it was when they were in grade school. This threat is because of what is termed as horizontal or lateral violence in the workplace, and it is a surprisingly

I agree that an organization’s structure plays an influential role in a nurse’s overall satisfaction. In fact, Buffington, Zwink, and Fink (2012) concur stating, “Creating an organizational culture committed to registered nurse (RN) retention is a strategy to reduce nurse turnover” (p. 273). Research reveals numerous hospitals today are restructuring their organizations to try and increase overall nurse satisfaction and retention. This “new recipe for healthcare leadership and organization is needed

Strategies to Increase Nursing Student Motivation Traditional education viewed students as “passive recipients of face-to-face instructor designed and led classes (McGarry, Theobald, Lewis, & Coyer, 2015, p. 967). The researchers understood the challenges nurse educators faced in engaging students and cultivating new nursing graduates with skills benefitting societal and professional sustainability.

years, this generation of nurses will be retiring and there will be an ever-rising demand for a new generation of nurses. Pondering the question of ways to counteract the nursing shortage crisis, my opinion may vary from others. Perhaps the key to the nursing crisis simply involves the utilization of nurses who hold a simpler nursing license and allowing them to preform

complementary job as nursing way behind. This lack of attention to necessary and complementary jobs, has led the Saudi education system in creating less than 20 percent of the nursing staff working in Saudi today, which in return led into today’s significant shortage in qualified and competent Saudi nurses and to high rate of imported nurses (Sadeeq, 2003). Even with a limited nursing teaching facilities, the Saudi social perception of nurses was a major factor in the nurse shortage in the country today

transform the nursing profession. The report produced by the IOM & RWJF, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, called out four key messages to guide the changes needed to heighten the future of nursing.

As such, the need for understanding the factors contributing to the nationwide shortage has never been greater. The current shortage is a problem of both supply and demand (American Hospital Association, 2006). As the population ages, there is increasing demand for nursing care both in hospitals and nursing homes
