  • Most family members caring for seniors also are trying to keep jobs; while many manage to juggle eldercare and employment in the earlier stages of caregiving, they may be unable to continue when the demands increase.

      This is so true, in high school i did clinical rotations at a nursing home and I lifted a patient wrong. My back was hurting shortly afterwards. Constant lifting, carrying, moving patients puts a strain on your back.
  • No one to teach – nursing schools losing educators  Young people not selecting nursing as a career path  50% of first year nurses leave the profession  33% of senior nurses plan on leaving early due to burn-out, physical issues related to on-the-job demands (source: AMN Healthcare, survey of 1,830 nurses age 45-60)

      this is very helpful to my concern on the nursing shortage.
  • hospital administrators are scrambling to position their hospital or health network as the ‘employer of choice’ for nurses. Nurses are recruited  like NFL free agents; signing bonuses, car allowances, flexible schedules, and front-loaded tuition reimbursements. In addition, Hospitals are stepping up efforts to keep senior nursing staff. Spa visits, entertainment nights, recognition events; yet still the nursing resource gap continues to widen.
