With predictions that this nursing shortage will
be more severe and have a longer duration than
has been previously experienced, traditional strategies
implemented by employers will have limited success.
Nation to Nation (N2N) poses several ideas of solutions, some already underway in the United States and abroad. N2N has prepared an exclusive plan to prepare faculty and implement full scale nursing program in accordance with NLNAC (National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission) requirements by fall of 2008. Along with Ukrainian students N2N will train US qualified students who were turned away from nursing programs in the United States.
The aging nursing workforce, low unemployment, and the global nature of this shortage compound the usual factors that contribute to nursing shortages. For sustained change and assurance of an adequate supply of nurses, solutions must be developed in several areas: education, healthcare deliver systems, policy and regulations, and image. This shortage is not solely nursing's issue and requires a collaborative effort among nursing leaders in practice and education, health care executives, government, and the media.
