2015) Many of us agree with the statement, as nurses are fundamental to the health and safety for all of us at some time in our lives. Knowing several nurses, the question was raised as to what they felt was the largest contributor to the nursing shortage. The following statement comes from a personal interview with Cheryl E. Kitchen (2016) “Universities do not prepare nurses to nurse they prepare us to manage. Historically, nurses learnt in the clinical area we were hands on with patients. Now we

Legal Implications of Understaffing in Nursing Noa Schwartz Hunter College Abstract A shortage of nursing staff in a healthcare center is a great burden for all involved. For the nurse, it is overwhelming and even potentially dangerous to take on the grand responsibility of many patients to care for. For the patients, the burden lies in getting the care they deserve. For the hospital it is the burden of staying afloat financially and utilizing resources to the fullest. This tug-of-war

While the nursing shortage is a current issue, it is certainly not a new one. According to Donald E. Yett, a professor at the University of Southern California who is an expert on the economics of medical care, the nursing shortage issue dates to the 1940's leading to The Nurse Training Act of 1964 (p. 190).

Extensive overtime studies have established and confirmed that there are serious dangers to both the nurse and the patient being cared for in all types of healthcare settings

Personnel Shortages The need for highly trained intelligence personnel has never been more important. A personnel shortage at the Intelligence Training Branch has a negative impact on the Coast Guard. The effects of this shortage are resulting in signs of burn out within the staff, the graduates are not receiving the highest quality of training, and the instructor billets are becoming harder to fill. From a chief’s perspective staff burn out is a high priority issue. With the exception of the School

Interventions Two approaches of cost out nursing services and acuity classification system proposed by Murray (2014) were presumed to be the most applicable after looking at many possible interventions. Nurse managers who focused on the individual needs and strive to meet those needs are more likely to retain their staff. A transactional leadership approach will work best under such circumstances because he or she can survey the nurses’ needs for a higher pay then set goals for them based on the
