| Super Moderator | Michigan struggling to fill nursing ranks Wednesday, October 06, 2004, Michigan struggling to fill nursing ranks, study shows:"Michigan needs to grow its supply of nurses because the state's 143,604 licensed nurses are graying, and there's no untapped pool of nurses who can fill the gap as they retire, a survey released today concludes. The report by the Michigan Center for Nursing found that nurses are older, on average, than they were a decade ago. About one in every three say they plan to quit nursing in the next 10 years. What the survey didn't find is a large number of licensed nurses who aren't working and want to jump back into the workforce." http://www.mlive.com/news/statewide/...7430228010.xml Guess it is wishful thinking that if every licensed nurse was working, there wouldn't be a shortage. Latest statistics are starting to show that isn't the case. Andrew Lopez, RN http://www.4nursing.com |
