000042361 520__ $$aNurses make up the majority of professionals in the healthcare industry and fulfill a vital role in patient intake and ongoing care, and yet there has been a distinct and drastic shortage of nurses dating back to early 1998. This booklet examines nurse shortages in Oregon and Washington, as well as the reasons for those gaps in care and the detrimental effects on the profession. Causes of the shortage stem from factors such as an increase in administrative duties and tasks in different departments; high turnover; longer hiring processes; a smaller population of recent graduate-level nurses and a preference for experienced professionals; disappointing salaries; and an inability to maintain a healthy work-life balance that leads to high incidences of burnout. Published in 2001, this booklet warns of a trend in the coming decades if these issues are not addressed, and offers some short- and long-term solutions to minimize the severity of ongoing shortages.
