Nursing "shortage"?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

:confused: I am an agency nurse in Central Wisconsin. We have had our share of nursing shortages, AEB the agency calling me continuously to work. However, within the last couple of months my hours have continued to decline. Good for the facilities, bad for me.

Was wondering how the "shortage" was affecting other areas of the country. We seem to be filling up here in the smaller communities of Wisconsin. I still hear some horror stories every now and then about the bigger cities, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Madison

What is it like in your communities?

Everyone in New Mexico is working 14's, 16's... Even a few 24's when no relief shows up!!

Here in Long Term Care you can have all the hours you want and when you are home...Don't answer the phone (unless you wanna work)!

It's not only LTC ...the hospitals are short, short, short too. We get recruited constantly.
