Article: Roots Of The Nursing Shortage
Hospitals are responsible for providing the best care possible. Patients expect it. Hospitals strive for it. But that goal has become increasingly difficult to achieve as staffing shortages plague the industry. Because nurses make up the largest population of hospital workers, the nursing shortage makes most of the headlines. But in many areas of the United States, hospitals are also short on pharmacists, medical technicians and even physicians. The problem has translated into fewer healthcare workers per patient in many facilities. Perhaps even worse, that scarcity has forced workers to endure longer hours and more stress, which, in a Catch-22, has prompted otherwise dedicated staff to leave the profession entirely. Without intervention, the problem is projected to worsen in the coming decades. To be sure, hospitals are taking action with stepped-up recruitment and retention efforts. It's not a moment too soon.

4. New! Premium Membership and changes in the discussion forums
Over the past several years, allnurses.com has grown to be the largest nursing discussion community online. Due to the cost of this community being so popular, we have been forced to implement some changes. While general membership is free and will remain free, allnurses.com is now offering an Premium Membership Upgrade program. Certain perks are now only available if you purchase a Premium Membership, such as a photo gallery, nursing blog (journal) and more.
We have also moved our non-nursing forums (the Break Room and Current Events) to the premium members section of the forum, where only premium members can post to those areas. There are many other changes that have taken place, please take time and read the detailed announcement on this matter in the announcement forum at:
