Great info ELK.... Question I have. Seems to me not only do you as an educator provide reasons at your level why there are educating issues (hence nursing employment issues real or perceived). Many other persons at all different levels of health car...

Awesome Thanks.... Finally was able to talk to 2 human resource persons of 2 of NJ largest hospital systems. Yes they have nursing jobs! But few mostly from retirement. They have tons of qualified nurses though applying for the jobs. They finally ca...

ok nursel56, I enjoy your level headed response. A few more questions if I may. 25 years ago were there as many specialized techs as there are today that seem to fill some of the roles of nurses at a cheeper rate maybe because they do not have to be ...

I wonder why you said "not so anymore" Has there not been bad economies before? Are there other mitigating factors that make an experienced nurse like you to say that? I think there are many reasons why I agree with you But if you might elaborate.......

Nursing Shortage 2010.... I am very interested in facts re: Health care today and the Future! I find it very interesting and somewhat confusing. Public LPN classes at Votech schools app $7,000.00 some private schools $20,000.00. The private schools g...

No need for sorry. I am just frustrated as a U.S. tax payer, future health care provider, health care patient at times, student, father and other. I know statistics sometimes don't reveal all the truths or can have many variables usually swayed by t...

I really appreciate your response. I am going to be careful as Foreign nurses are NOT the only reason for the glut. ALL American taxpayers are footing some of the bills for all our students in school to get there medical degrees this also includes fo...

Great response and much appreciated.... So many variables as to why the "Glut" ... I saw your stated statistic re 40% of the current nurses will retire by 2020... Can I get the source of that info as I have been trying to get such Stats. My first que...

Great Posts Here. From a little different perspective if I may. I am the spouse of a nursing (RN) student of only 8 years ago (She is a RN now). Back then Yes there were jobs everywhere (not just New Jersey) with huge sign on bonuses to boot. At th...

Ashley, May I ask which county Voc you attend? The m/f ratio? total number of students in your class? Lastly, was the role of the LPN discussed in the "new health care" reforms. I am getting a little concerned about the hospitals not using the LPN'...

Good Day Gina.. Did you decide to stick with LPN career? Have you decided on school? If so where?
