Description

Audio Session and Presentation Slides from Nursing Management Congress 2016

Nearly 20 years ago, talk started of a national shortage of registered nurses that was expected to reach near-crisis proportions by 2016, but such a shortage never emerged... and probably won't in the future. In this session we'll review what's been happening in the American registered nurse workforce over the last decade in terms of new entrants to the profession and changing demographics, and the reasons for these shifts. We'll also review new predictions regarding supply and demand for RNs and what might affect the accuracy of those predictions. 

Learning Objectives

  1. Explain why national trends with respect to shortages or surpluses of nurses might not apply to a specific local market or a particular clinical specialty.
