The research was also able to not certain key differences in perception amongst these groups as to thee likely effects of an ongoing nursing shortage, including some major differences in perception between nurses and hospital administrators, and it is suggested that this will serve as a barrier to implementing necessary changes; working to bring expectations of all stakeholders more in line would be ideal, and this research can accomplish this and ground perceptions in empirical evidence.

In this research, also a survey study that aimed to obtain qualitative results regarding nurse stress and reactions to the nursing shortage but supplemented with relevant quantitative data, the researcher found that the gap between nursing supply and demand was shrinking by the middle of the decade, however there was still a perception of a significant nursing shortage...
Nursing retention outlooks had improved at the same time, with more nurses reporting an intention to remain in the nursing profession than in prior years however with ongoing job stress experienced as a result of the nursing shortage, which was at the time of the research already the longest significant stretch of a nursing shortage ever experienced since the modern nursing profession was solidified. This research seems to suggest that the nursing shortage was at least partially self-exacerbating, with nursing shortages leading to increased decisions to leave the nursing profession due to strain and job stress; this also means that the easing of the nursing shortage can also be self-reinforcing, with an easing of job stress and an increase in the number of nursing hires improving retention rates, which n turn eases job stress, etc. Organizations should make all possible efforts to relieve nursing job stress as a means of directly and indirectly addressing the effects of the nursing shortage and even countering this trend.
Learning in adults is most effectual when the environment is both participative and interactive. Another important characteristic is that learners obtain instantaneous feedback. Teaching methods that necessitate a learner to think though data or information and come to a conclusion or forecast an outcome are more valuable than is reading or lecture. "The minute-to-minute care and monitoring of critically ill patients requires nurses to collect, analyze, and react to
Nursing Research Value of Research to Nursing Nursing is different from other health care professions. It has a large scope for practicing therefore it is necessary to understand theory in order to provide a strong framework for understanding of this profession. The daily practice of nursing contributes to a nursing practice theory, which can be empirically tested. A quantitative nursing research has three levels such as descriptive, co-relational and experimental. Therefore nurses
Nurse-to-Patient Ratios in Illinois The Facts For many years the ongoing nursing shortage has required nurses to work longer hours and care for more patients, causing many of them to make fatal and near-fatal mistakes on the job that could have otherwise been avoided. Illinois has attempted to remedy this situation by enacting The Nurse Staffing by Patient Acuity Law on August 24, 2007 ("The Nurse Staffing by Patient Acuity Law," 2012).
Nursing Shortage Issues Surrounding the Nursing Shortage In the early 2000s, national strategies to improve the nursing workforce profile were largely focused on increasing the number of nurses at the bedside through the use of sign-on bonuses and travel nurses. While these strategies tended to provide local short-term solutions, they did little to address long-term issues affecting the nursing shortage. With nursing education programs challenged to increase student enrollment, many colleges were
Nursing Metaparadigms and Practice-Specific Concepts Since Florence Nightingale, there have been a number of so-called grand theories of nursing advanced, and these grand theories have been used by other nursing theorists to conceptualize metaparadigms of practice that continue to influence clinical practice today. In addition, the central concepts of nursing are person, nursing, environment and health have formed the basis for other nursing theorists such as Jean Watson's Philosophy and Science
Nursing Theorists The objective of this study is to identify, describe, research and apply the concepts of a specific nursing theorist and compare and contrast it to other nursing theorists. As well, this work in writing will provide examples of clinical situations from personal nursing practice that illustrates the concepts and application of the framework and will describe these in ways that serve to illustrate and clarify the use of the
