Spring 2010 Research and Argument

Poor Sleep Adversely Affected By Adolescents' Use Of Cell Phones After Bedtime

his and other research suggests that the current shortage is the product of several trends including: steep population growth in several states, a diminishing pipeline of new students to nursing, a decline in RN earnings relative to other career options, an aging nursing workforce, low job satisfaction and poor working conditions that contribute to high workforce attrition rates, and an aging population that will require intense health care services. These issues are occurring just as the majority of nurses are retiring and job opportunities within health care are expanding.  However, there have been recent trends of people entering the nursing profession at a later age and an increased overall interest in nursing.

Immigration overhaul faces a difficult road. President George W. Bush twice failed to get Congress to pass similar legislation. Mr. Obama recently said his administration would pursue reform this year but expected no action on legislation before 2010.

"Trial lawyers have targeted the fast-food industry as the next big tobacco by bringing these insane lawsuits," said the bill's author, Rep. Ric Keller, R-Florida, referring to cigarette smokers' litigation against tobacco companies.

The facts show that the recent rise in immigration hasn't been accompanied by social breakdown, but by social repair

My third argument is that good values lead to success, and that immigrants' long-term contributions more than compensate for the short-term strains they cause.

By the second generation, most immigrant families are middle class and paying taxes that more than make up for the costs of the first generation.

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.

The nursing population is aging rapidly. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration’s March 2004 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses, the aging of nurses as a demographic continues. In March 2004, the average age of the RN population was estimated to be 46.8 years of age, more than a year older than the average age of 45.2 years estimated in 2000 and more than four years older than in 1996, when the average age was 42.3 years.
