More and more nurses have chosen more paper work and less patient care by becoming supervisors, administrators and nursing directors and then retire or else proceed to another career if they are not yet retiring (Benjamin).
Compounding the problem of shortage were a lack of surgical educational content and clinical experiences for nursing students, demands for professional nurses in ambulatory care surgical settings, and the difficulty itself of attracting and maintaining per-operative nurses (Beyea, 2002). Managed care also required by more intense or complex illnesses and, thus, increased workloads and greater responsibility of nurses (Benjamin, 2000). The situation correspondingly raised their level of "burn out." Hospital downsizing, managed care and an emphasis on outpatient services made the medical environment less dependent on nurses and more on facilities (Benjamin). (2002). AORN's response to the nursing shortage in perspective settings.
Conclusion
The fast-aging population needs more and more healthcare services in the face of an increasing shortage of nurses and other healthcare professionals to provide these services. Aging healthcare professionals, problems in turning out new nurses, working conditions and environment of current-day nurses and diverse contributing factors all call for serious attention and concerted effort. On the whole, this continuing shortage is likely to continue unless and until a major overhaul of the U.S. health care system is made.#

Lack of accountability, transparency and integrity, ineffectiveness, inefficiency and unresponsiveness to human development remain problematic (UNDP). Poverty remains endemic in most Gulf States with health care and opportunities for quality education poor or unavailable, degraded habitats including urban pollution and poor soil conditions from inappropriate farming practices.

What might have otherwise been individual illness, limited to one or two cases of Ebola, was magnified in a hospital setting in which unsterile equipment and needles were used repeatedly on numerous patients." (Garrett 220). Even with the significant accomplishment of learning to genetically engineer biologic material, the means did not exist to apply this new knowledge where it was needed most. Economic, social, governmental, and geographic barriers prevented this
What emerges from these efforts are two essential understandings. First, in spite of whatever evidence may exist to the contrary, system building will continue apace in the hospital industry. Whether the battlefield is risky is immaterial, for the battle is joined. Some individual hospitals may decide to remain solo or stay in modest-sized systems where problems are more manageable, at least until some future time when some of the cloud
