How does the shortage of nurses affect the nursing profession?

The Nursing Shortage

Currently, there is a critical shortage of nurses in America in all parts of the health care field.

Because RNs are leaving the field of nursing to enter other careers and many other RNs are retiring, there are simply not as many nurses today as there used to be. Financial constraints also have contributed to the lack of nurses, as well as a stressful work environment. Because of the shortage of nurses, however, many hospitals and other health care facilities are offering very competitive compensation and excellent benefits for those in the nursing field.

The shortage of nurses also has caused a shortage of nursing educators. South University Online's online BSN to RN and MSN programs eliminate some of the overhead necessary with a traditional nursing education by offering their programs via the web.
