I've noticed that around here that while there are still lots of job adverstisements for nurses, that there are not as many as there were last year at this time. It also seems like that recruitment bonuses are not being advertised as much. So are all the statistics about a continuing shortgage bogus? Maybe many nurses are coming out of retirment or coming back from other second careers because of all the news about shortages. Hopefully, I am wrong because I hate to think I will graduate in a year into a profession where employment prospects will become bleak.
