Shortage

The nursing shortage has been growing drastically, with abundant amount of nurses leaving their position vacant and there being few incoming nurses. Many believe the nursing shortage is a temporary event to help make a field seem better. In reality, a nursing shortage is not taken into consideration has been increasing as the years pass. Russel C. Coile Jr affirms that a nursing shortage can be devastating to the quality of care given to patients, as shown in a survey by the American Nurses association:

Integrating Technology in the Language Arts Classroom School leaders today are under extreme pressure to improve student achievement levels. Yet, in the face of tight budgets, threats to cut extra-curricular activities, and an extensive shortage of textbooks in the schools, exactly what are teachers supposed to do to ensure that “no child is really left behind.” Despite what looks like a dead end, there is hope. By integrating the usage of technology in the Language Arts classroom, students

significant shortages in the profession today. Several factors influence this, including the aging Baby Boomer generation, training staff shortages, and stress levels when entering the profession for the first time. Courchane (2011) defines the nursing shortage in the United States as a profession that "will soon be in desperate need for Americans" during a time when many Americans are in desperate need for work. While the economic downturn has somewhat eased the general shortage of nurses, the

impact on patients and their care, it is alarming to know there is shortage of nurses both state and nationwide. The demand for nurses is high but the supply is low. This is currently one of our nation’s largest health care issues. If it is not addressed, it will not only affect our current health care system but also the economic health of our nation’s future. There are several key factors that contribute to the nursing shortage; an increase in nurses who are retiring from the work field, there

Introduction For years now, we have been hearing about labor shortages that will occur as a result of the retirement of baby boomers. However, baby boomers have been retiring in large number for several years already, and labor shortages, except in a few highly specialized occupations, are hardly a noticeable problem in most mature economies. This raises the question: Is the labor shortages fear overblown? We do not think so. Our motivation for writing this report is rooted in our belief that most

more diverse areas (Olvera). The emergency room is a fast paced and hardcore working facility. Nurses within that department depend on their high energy and focus to make fast and accurate decisions (Ibid). It is hard to imagine a hospital with a shortage of nurses, but every day it becomes more perceptible that the U.S is going to be faced with a nursing crisis for the years to come (Tieman). It is estimated that by the year 2020 hospital facilities will be in need of 800,000 Registered Nurses

nurse shortage is not new to healthcare. Moreover, it becomes burning in critical and intensive care units where the workload is high, and nurses observe an increased risk of burnout (Pastores & Kvetan, 2015). Nurse shortage has a negative impact not only on nurses themselves. It also influences patients and can lead to negative patient outcomes due to less attention that a nurse gives to a patient (Ferrer et al., 2014). Therefore, there is a need for a strategic plan to address nurse shortage and

a nursing shortage exists when there are not enough nurses to fill open and budgeted positions. So a facility may desire more nurses to provide a certain level of patient care, meeting the professional standards definition of a shortage. Yet if there are no funds to open additional positions, an economically defined nursing shortage does not exist. Assessment of shortage severity may vary a great deal depending on the defining terms, adding to the complexity of solving the nurse shortage issue. Yet

Nursing Shortage in Canada Population in Canada continues to increase as per Statistics Canada (2013). To provide quality nursing services for such a population we need sufficient nursing workforce. According to Little (2007), by 2016, Canada will face a nursing shortage of 100,000 nurses. The major reasons for this being unemployment of immigrated internationally educated nurses in Canada and emigration of Canadian-educated nurses to countries like USA. According to College of Nurses of Ontario

three to four decades. I think that there are two most serious challenges and they are nursing staff shortage and increase in health care cost. The total number of additional RNs needed to fill the jobs becoming available through 2022 is 1,052,600 (McMenamin, 2014). By this we can figure out that how serious the nursing shortage problem is going to be in three to four decade. The nursing shortage leads to understaffing and increase work load, poor job satisfaction and staff burnout. This all results
