    The nursing shortage is exacerbated by understaffed facilities. Nurses quit because they’re expected to do too much with very little help.

    Larger staffing requirements will help this problem, and make it so nurses are not so overworked.

    You can’t wait until there’s no more shortage to improve working conditions, because the poor working conditions are the bulk of the problem.

        For real. There should be full tuitions for nursing school for anyone who can keep their grades up. Same for medical school.

        We need more doctors and nurses. We shouldn’t be turning people away just because they don’t have money.
