From the Paper:

"All of these concerns coupled with other issues will eventually reduce the overall quality nurses are able to provide for the care of their patients. The nursing profession is also an aging system where older more experienced nurses are leaving the system in droves but the profession is having difficulty replacing those who have exited. "Largely because of current conditions, veteran nurses are leaving the field and potential new entrants are being discouraged from joining the profession. Just as the population is aging and in need of more nursing care, the nation now faces a new nursing shortage." (Gordon) It will be an important function of the current licensure board to adopt new standards that will both maintain high levels of professionalism in the nursing field but also to promote the profession to a younger generation that has not taken to the field in the same way that previous generations have."
