  • keeping the Nursing Shortage from becoming a Nursing crisis
    Journal of Nursing Administration, 2004
    Co-Authors: Jeanette Ives Erickson, Lauren J Holm, Lee Chelminiak
    Abstract:

    Healthcare organizations are experiencing an unprecedented Shortage of qualified nurses. How can we increase our understanding of how the potential labor pool views the Nursing profession and identify recruitment themes to encourage young people and adult career switchers to choose a career in Nursing? The authors discuss the results of a study that was conducted to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of career selection among these two target groups and identify what types of communication would motivate young people and career switchers to be drawn to the Nursing profession.

  • the Nursing Shortage solutions for the short and long term
    The online journal of issues in nursing, 2001
    Co-Authors: Brenda Nevidjon, Jeanette Ives Erickson
    Abstract:

    With predictions that this Nursing Shortage will be more severe and have a longer duration than has been previously experienced, traditional strategies implemented by employers will have limited success. The aging Nursing workforce, low unemployment, and the global nature of this Shortage compound the usual factors that contribute to Nursing Shortages. For sustained change and assurance of an adequate supply of nurses, solutions must be developed in several areas: education, healthcare deliver systems, policy and regulations, and image. This Shortage is not solely Nursing's issue and requires a collaborative effort among Nursing leaders in practice and education, health care executives, government, and the media. This paper poses several ideas of solutions, some already underway in the United States, as a catalyst for readers to initiate local programs.

  • magnet status and registered nurse views of the work environment and Nursing as a career
    Journal of Nursing Administration, 2007
    Co-Authors: Beth Ulrich, Peter I Buerhaus, Karen Donelan, Linda Norman, Robert S Dittus
    Abstract:

    Objectives: To compare how registered nurses view the work environment and the Nursing Shortage based on the Magnet status of their organizations. Background: The upsurge in organizations pursuing and obtaining Magnet recognition provides increased opportunities to investigate whether and how registered nurses who are employed in Magnet organizations and organizations pursuing Magnet status perceive differences in the Nursing Shortage, hospitals' responses to the Shortage, characteristics of the work environment, and professional relationships. Methods: A nationally representative sample of registered nurses licensed to practice in the United States was surveyed. The views of registered nurses who worked in Magnet organizations, organizations in the process of applying for Magnet status, and non-Magnet organizations were analyzed as independent groups. Results: Significant differences were found. Although there is a clear Magnet difference, there are also identifiable differences that occur during the pursuit of Magnet recognition. Conclusion: Many organizations in the process of applying for Magnet status rated higher than Magnet organizations, indicating that there is much to do to maintain the comparative advantages for Magnet hospitals.

  • hospital rns and cnos perceptions of the impact of the Nursing Shortage on the quality of care
    Nursing Economics, 2005
    Co-Authors: Peter I Buerhaus, Karen Donelan, Beth Ulrich, Linda Norman, Mamie Williams, Robert S Dittus
    Abstract:

    The results of analyses of the 2002 and 2004 National Sample Surveys of RNs and the 2004 National Sample of CNOs document the widespread perception that the Shortage of nurses is a major problem for the overall quality of patient care in hospitals. In the eyes of the majority of hospital RNs and CNOs surveyed, care processes involving communication, timely response to pages and telephone calls, delays in patient discharges, and the time patients had to wait for tests and procedures were all affected negatively by the Nursing Shortage. These results are not encouraging.

  • is the Shortage of hospital registered nurses getting better or worse findings from two recent national surveys of rns
    Nursing Economics, 2005
    Co-Authors: Peter I Buerhaus, Karen Donelan, Beth Ulrich, Linda Norman, Robert S Dittus
    Abstract:

    The results of two recent national surveys of RNs that were conducted at a time when the Nursing Shortage in the U.S. was in full force (2002) and 2 years later (2004) were compared. The findings provide a mixed assessment: on the one hand, there is evidence that the Shortage has eased since 2002 and that there have been notable improvements in the lives of nurses; on the other hand, the Shortage has had a negative impact on hospitals and nurses, and longstanding problems associated with the workplace environment remain.
