  | Aging work force could worsen nursing shortage Wed, Oct. 06, 2004: Michigan: Aging work force could worsen nursing shortage, survey shows:"The state's nursing work force is getting older, a trend that could worsen Michigan's shortage of nurses over the next 10 years, a new survey shows. A third of the state's 110,000 active nurses say they plan to retire within a decade, according a survey that was to be released Wednesday by the Michigan Center for Nursing. "We will have a significant shortage if we don't change things," said Anne Rosewarne, president of the Michigan Health Council, which conducted the survey. "But we have a great bell ringing right now saying we need to change things. We need to train more nurses." http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...9846319.htm?1c How many nurses do you have on your units that are under 30? I don't see a whole lot of them. Make you nervous about being in a hospital 10-15 years from now. Andrew Lopez, RN http://www.4nursing.com |
