Wednesday, August 20, 2003: Nursing shortage causes woes in Utah:"Becoming a nurse at the U isn't easy. Last year, only 100 of the 266 applicants were admitted into the U College of Nursing reported Maureen Keefe, the school's dean. The college is short 30 faculty members. It doesn't have the funding to hire sufficient faculty. It's also difficult to retain U nursing faculty because salaries aren't competitive with other states, Keefe said. But the less than 50 percent chance of admittance isn't stopping students from trying. For many, nursing is an ideal job."

Dec. 30, 2002: Utah: Health Care Industry Leads the State in Job Opportunities:"Job seekers looking for a wealth of opportunity need to look no further than health care, which tops a list of industries in Utah with the brightest hiring prospects for 2003. The Top 5 list -- compiled by Mark Knold, senior economist with the Utah Department of Workforce Services -- identifies industries that continue to seek employees despite a depressed economy. Utah's health care industry tops the list, Knold said, because of the wide variety of available jobs, including medical assistants, nurses and X-ray technicians.

Thursday, December 12, 2002: Nursing shortage pinching Utah. Demographics put state at special risk:"The nursing shortage is already severe. National estimates say the United States will be 434,000 nurses short before 2020. And the pinch in Utah is among the worst. Utah's population is high in the very young and very old — the two populations most likely to require medical services and, thus, skilled nurses. The Utah Nurses Association this year cited a shortage of 2,000 nurses, with numbers climbing. Utah's is the third-most severe shortage in the country, with 592 nurses per 100,000 people, said Mindy deHoll, president of Advanced Nursing Service, which provides temporary nurses to fill critical gaps at local hospitals."

1999 News on The Nursing Shortage


Nursing Shortage Serious For Seniors, About.com:"As the population ages the impact of the nursing shortage will be even greater. There is a threat to the health of every older adult in the United States and Canada looming on the horizon. It is not a virus or new type of bacteria that is causing this threat. The threat to health is a result of the increasing shortage of nurses in both countries. Over the last couple of years there have been numerous stories in the press about the magnitude and causes of the shortage. So far solutions for this situation have been few. Additionally this nursing shortage will impact the oldest of citizens the most. Older adults use health care services at a higher rate than do younger people. Advances in medicine and improved nutrition and lifestyle have added years to the average life span. With this longer life comes higher needs for medical services, especially the services of professional nurses."

The Nurse/Patient Ratio by Genevieve M. Clavreul RN, Ph.D.:"The New Year heralds many things, and this year brings legislation mandating a patient/nurse ratio in California. But after the confetti stops falling, did we get what we want? We now have a panacea for thousands of nurses in California, however, the ratio really can’t be enforced. (At the writing of this article the companion bill for enforcement is stalled in the legislature, having been defeated at least once already). As my children are fond of saying, “why am I not surprised?” Having been a nurse for almost 30 years, most of those years spent in the NICU/PICU, I am used to working with a strict nurse/patient ratio. ICU’s and a few other areas of nursing have always been under the control of an “acuity” system. Actually, all nursing is supposed to be, but we all know this isn’t always the case. For this reason, I knew in my heart that legislating a nurse/patient ratio was probably an exercise in futility."

Nursing: A Medical Emergency, and Opportunity, hits home by Ronald A. Reis and Karen F. Reis RN:"You’re an RN, and you’ve been at it, administering to the sick and wounded, for months, years, maybe even decades. You’ve got your hands full with 12-hour shifts, high turnover, an often less than supportive work environment, and a stressed-out health care system that is, in places, itself on life-support. What to do? How to keep going? How to make this job, career, meaningful again? How to get out of nursing what you went into it for? How to avoid adding to the national nursing shortage by short-circuiting your own involvement in a noble profession?"

Preparing for Battle: What YOU can do for YOU, Sicker patients, reduced staffing, longer hours, and increased responsibilities—by Deborah Lynne, RN, BSN:"As Registered Nurses, few of us think of the hospital we work in as a battlefield, or of ourselves as soldiers. But the truth is, there are more similarities than you might think. We show up for our shift each day, not knowing what challenges we might encounter. Our job requires us to be in the moment at all times, and to make split second decisions on the run. What we do or don’t do can mean the difference between life and death. We often work under extreme stress, yet must remain calm and in control. Although there are others who function in a supportive capacity, we are the ones on the frontline."
