where are the nursing shortages?

I am hearing that there are shortages in some areas while some are cutting back jobs.

Can anyone tell me for sure where thet know there are nursing shortages in the U.S or Canada.

Thanks

Well, California is having trouble recruiting enough nurses to meet the required nurse to patient ratios.

the Columbus and Cincinnati areas of Ohio

Seattle area

Nashville

Washington DC area, the ICU at the hospital where I work is short 40% of their nursing staff quota....

There are full time permanent ICU positions in Sask right now.

...Oklahoma

Cleveland Ohio

There are two kinds of nursing shortages (as I see it):

One is the kind the hospitals put in print for the media to talk about, yet when it comes to hiring nurses, "nothing is available".

The other shortage is what I call the "true nursing shortage" where nurses are in short supply, and hospitals truly do have a hard time filling positions.

Separate the ones that are TRUE shortages from the ones that are all a bunch of "hype", and you'll find yourself a job in no time. :)

I agree...I am currently in Hawaii and if you look on hospital websites there are tons of positions listed but when people apply it seems there are hardly any positions and if there are they are per diem....hmmm :rolleyes:

Did you read that on the Schwartzenegger website??? I know several RN's and LVN's that are unable to secure positions here in Southern California, Orange County especially. I am sure there are some selected fulltime positions available with 12 hour shifts and every other week end requirements, however most of my friends prefer to work 8's, 10's and have a little flexability to spend time with their families.

I don't believe in A: The Easter Bunny

B: Your stated opinion!

C: This media induced hype about a nursing shortage.

Just an informed opinion.
