Do you think there is a nursing shortage?!


Question: Do you think there is a nursing shortage.?
Answers:
...also there are 2- and 4-year programs for nurses. There is a serious nursing shortage, but if you live in a town with a huge nursing university/hospital where hundreds of nurses are graduating every year then it may not be easy to get a job in that town.

Nursing is a very difficult schooling and career choice, although it is very rewarding for the right people. Nurses make a good, stable income and their jobs will always be available and needed, nurses will never go hungry. Some types of nurses (maybe radiology or anesthesiology nurses) make a much better income, but it will take special training.

Other medical-related jobs are also in high demand and make good incomes, but are suited to different personality types. Check out medical coding and billing, patient services, medical technician, medical records management, pharmacist, or even counseling.

Hope that helps!
Health Question & Answer

Yes, a serious nursing shortage, and even more nurses will be needed as the baby-boomers age.
The average age of nurses now is somewhere around fifty years.


Many nurses get burned out after a few years. Very few nursing graduates will work as nurses for the rest of their working years.
If all of the former nurses in the US returned to work, there would probably not be a shortage.Health Question & Answer

Nursing shortage refers to a situation where the demand for nurses is greater than the supply, as is currently the case in the United States and several other developed nations.

The amount of nursing responsibilities has increased and the patients are more ill than before. In addition, the average age of nurses increases while the number of applications to baccalaureate programs has decreased.[1] Furthermore, new opportunities became available for the nursing practice, which further drains the number of nurses available for the acute care settings.[2] Other factors that affect the nursing shortage are aging workforce, problems with retention, and difficulty recruiting young people into the field
