Any examples as to how nursing is affected?

I know of a few issues such as the 4 year degrees, mandatory overtime and end of life issues. Seem to be stumped on on others things. Any suggestions.

The American healthcare system is complex. It is composed of a mix of what has been over the last century and the challenge of what is needed presently in a consumer driven, cost managed system. Healthcare professionals are concerned with the state of what could be, based on new science and technology, hampered with conflicting values, access demands, and excessive costs. Rapid and ongoing change, as well as limited access and resources have become facts of life for healthcare professionals and organizations. What are some of the factors that have changed or impacted healthcare today? Im trying to write up a paper and looking for the perspective of other nurses.

It is interesting to me how much has changed in nursing. What factors do you feel have changed or impacted the health care system?
