From the Paper:

"Though in general the profession of nursing and especially the focus on specialized nursing professions has increased its validity through a lengthy professional proving ground over the past century, there are still environmental challenges to the field. One challenge that is paramount at this time is the overall shortage of qualified nurses to fulfill staffing shortages all over the country. Some fears arise through the shortages about burnout, ethical dilemmas associated to poor patient care in understaffed conditions, all of which affect the general legal environment of the industry as it attempts to make ends meet safely."
