ESSAY ON: Nursing Shortage

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page research paper that addresses the nursing shortage. All aspects of the current U.S. shortage of registered nurses (RNs) have been thoroughly documented. The present shortage began in 1998 and by 2001, roughly 126,000 hospital nursing positions were left unfilled (Auerbach, Buerhaus and Staiger, 2007). In 2006, the shortage entered its ninth year, which make this the longest-running shortage in the past fifty years (Auerbach, Buerhaus and Staiger, 2007). Examination of current literature suggests several pertinent factors concerning the nature of this shortage that differentiates it greatly from those of the past. This information is summarized and then discussed in terms of its public policy implications. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
