ESSAY ON: Nursing Shortage: Impact Upon Care

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Budget cutbacks, burnout and lack of student enrollment have precluded sufficient staffing in many critical areas of healthcare. Adding to the already high level of stress that exists throughout the industry is how many hospitals are severely understaffed to appropriately tend to their large numbers of patients. Typically, an intensive care nurse is responsible for one or two patients who require all of her time; if staffing cuts require that same nurse to tend to double and triple that amount of people, her stress level inevitably rises, the patients receive less than adequate care and mistakes are rife, resulting in a less confident nurse. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
