      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.

      This is a good fact to know. Not only does the united states suffer as a whole but individual states suffer independently as well.

  • Nursing schools still have waiting lists, but that's because there are not enough faculty members to train future nurses, experts say.

      This is one of the reasons why experts say there is a shortage of nursing. Many hospitals aren't training as many nurses as before because of the economy.
  • some local hospitals aren't hiring nurses the way they did a few years ago because of the economy.
  • "It's all very important that we get the funding to educate the faculty in the master's and doctoral programs," she said.
  • These include changing the Nurse Education Assistance Loan Program in the state's budget bill this year to forgive student loans of nursing master's students who teach nursing at an Ohio school, Allison Kolodziej, Gov. Ted Strickland's spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail.

      What is the GAO doing to improve this rating? Are they doing anything to improve the facility or are is it just here to tell a fact?
