HOW BAD IS THE CURRENT NURSING SHORTAGE? HOW WE CAN HELP!
HOW BAD IS THE CURRENT NURSING SHORTAGE? HOW WE CAN HELP!
Nurses are a critical part of the United States’ healthcare system. Every day, many of the nation’s 4.3 million RNs work to assist doctors, surgeons, and other practitioners in providing quality care to patients. But experts are alerting the public about an uncomfortable truth: a big nursing shortage is right around the corner, and in some places, it’s already begun.
The good news is that surgical staffing companies such as ours have the experience and relationships to connect operating room nurses, perioperative nurses, endoscopy staff, and more to hospitals and surgical facilities that need them the most.
Inside the Nursing Shortage
According to an article published in “American Journal of Medical Quality,” 30 states will see a significant shortage of nurses by 2030, an increase from five states in 2009. Here’s why this is happening:
Baby Boomers are aging rapidly, which only increases the generation’s demand for health services.
Many nurses themselves are getting closer to retirement with the median age of an RN being 52 years old.
Many nurses are beginning to feel burned out and many may leave their profession.
A 2022 survey conducted by the American Nurses Foundation and the American Nurses Association found that more than half of nurses are considering leaving their current position.
These nurses cited insufficient staffing, poor health and well-being due to their jobs, and an inability to provide high-quality care as their main reasons behind why they are considering leaving.
Nursing schools are also struggling to find faculty and clinical spaces to teach students, putting caps on enrollment numbers, which ultimately impacts how many new RNs will work in the profession in the future.
