where are the nursing shortages?

Published

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.

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.

Hi !! I live near Knoxville Tn.& I can certainly say that we DO NOT have a nursing shortage here. I am an RN & I have been out of work for almost 6 months. I wish that I had went to college for something other than nursing, it totally sucks!! Thinking of going back to school......

Hi, I'm from Edmonton and if you were looking for an actual job, there is this nursing home that is looking for a nurse. I have not started studying to become a nurse but was just looking for a part time job. Mark

Also, if you want to travel, Volunteer International Christian Services send nurses overseas. You have to go for 2 years though.

Las Vegas has huge shortages in all medical fields.

The entire state is short.

Also, there are teaching opportunites at the nursing schools. My school is considering BSNs that are working on their MSNs. That's how short they are.
