Scary News...
The number of working nurses is decreasing due to burnout. The nurses that are currently practicing are aging and will eventually retire. This means that there will not be enough nurses to care for the increase in patients, especially, the baby boomers. Also, nurses will have less and less time to spend at the bedside with his/her patient's, which will decrease the quality of patient care given. And the scariest thing is that the nursing shortage will lead to an increase in patient mortality rates. I'm glad I'm in nursing to help out. The more nurses the better!
