In recent years Cheap Chuma Edoga Jersey , there has been a growing shortage of nurses across the country. Many expect this shortage to grow in the approaching years as baby boomers grow older and the demand for health care increases. Other reasons for a nurse shortage include: a minimum number of openings in nursing schools, an increase in the number of nurses retiring, and many nurses leaving the healthcare field.

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing and other medical professionals have become concerned about the impact the nursing shortage will have on society. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2000), "the U.S. will experience a 20% shortage in the number of nurses needed in our nation's health care system by the year 2020." The American Hospital Association reports "that 75% of all current hospital vacancies are for registered nurses."
