From the Paper
"The fact is that within that new health care system we are still impacted by issues of nursing migration, nursing retirement and globalization that will not cease to affect the process of nursing or the delivery of care without policies that are intended to provide positive results. One such policy is Senate Bill 2529 that gives us the opportunity at this time to mold our nursing professionals through education and not only ensure that they have the ability of universally achieving goals in health care delivery, but that they are the most knowledgeable and skilled nurses throughout the world."

Abstract
The paper discusses the United States' serious nursing crisis and predictions that this trend will only get worse in the future, showing that the changing demographics of an aging population are largely to blame. The paper also shows that nursing shortages are greater in areas requiring higher levels of education, such as Masters or Doctorate Degrees and that not enough nurses are pursuing educational paths to fill this need. Congress has offered tuition reimbursement and grant programs to help fund higher education and Nursing Associations are working to create faster tracks to a careers in nursing. Other methods discussed are media campaigns which have highlighted the advantages of nursing. This research examines the factors that influence a nurse's decision to pursue higher education and gives insight as to how to eliminate some of the barriers that prevent them from entering into higher education.

From the Paper
"Distance learning offers many advantages over traditional programs. The first advantage is cost. As distance learning facilities do not have the high costs of maintaining all of those classrooms as in a traditional setting, they have lower over head costs and can offer their services at a much lower rate. Convenience is the biggest advantage. Many nursing students start families and must begin working as soon as they obtain their license. They often have many job and family responsibilities that would prevent them from having a career and going to school, without sacrificing family or professional life. Distance learning allows them to work at home, many times at their own pace, and still enjoy the benefits of family and professional life."

Abstract
This paper looks at nursing and obstetrical nursing and investigates what agencies police and design the curricula for these fields. The State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission are examined and the policies and standards that they set are discussed as well as the required curriculum content and development they oversee. Their impact upon curriculum development and revision is also reviewed.
From the Paper
"In the arena of nursing, there are so many specialties, so many fields, so many types of nurses, that there must be governing and regulatory bodies. Without such organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs, there would not be a singular and uniform set of expectations for this nation's nursing professionals. The two organizations that will be discussed in regard to how they influence the regulation of nursing, and more specifically how they could influence obstetrical nursing, are the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The first of the two governing agencies that this paper will discuss and investigate is the NCSBN."

As a result, healthcare providers have been forced to be innovative in the way that they attract nurses to their institutions and recruiting efforts..."

In addition, the writer discusses the functions that each of the different types of nurse serve within the hospital hierarchy.
From the Paper
"According to Kopishke, the shortage of qualified nurses has resulted in the need for more frequent delegation of tasks. Because many of these tasks are repetitive, routine and involve activities that really do not require the level of medical knowledge and competency expected of a Registered Nurse, more and more medical agencies and institutions are requiring that Registered Nurses delegate certain tasks to either a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or to an ...

Abstract
This paper explains that the American Nurses Association (ANA) advances the nursing profession by fostering high standards of nursing practice, promoting the economic and general welfare of nurses in the workplace, projecting a positive and realistic view of nursing and lobbying the Congress and regulatory agencies on health care issues affecting nurses and the public. The author stresses that ANA, as part of various nursing umbrella organizations, promotes a unified advocacy to any cause-oriented or socially relevant issues affecting the society and health care profession. The paper relates that a regular membership in the American Nurses Association requires a baccalaureate degree, Registered Nurse (RN) certification and a license to practice the nursing profession the United States; however, additional categories of membership are available for foreign, unemployed, student, disabled and elderly nurses.
Table of Contents:
Overview of the Organization
The Statement of Purpose of the Organization
Advantages and Disadvantages of Membership in the Organization
Requirements for Membership in the Organization
Why this Organization Interests You?
From the Paper
"A major drawback of the ANA is the membership dues - at $ 255.00 for the Full Membership Dues, some nurse practitioners, especially those in economically depressed areas of the United States, will find the amount steep! Although it is a prestigious organization to be part of, this stature costs a bundle. The ANA have Reduced and Special Dues though but these are for student, unemployed and retired nurses. Another possible disadvantage of joining the ANA is the political agenda they endorse; a particular member or a group of members may not believe or may be against some of the association's political agenda."

Shortage of Nurses, 2008.
This paper discusses the possible hiring of foreign nurses to help with the shortage of nurses in the US.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the problem of shortages of nurses in the US continues to grow. One solution to the problem is enticing students to choose the career of nursing. The writer notes that another solution for the United States is to hire foreign nurses to come to the United States. The writer maintains that many nurses living in Africa and other undeveloped nations are willing to migrate to the United States in order to receive higher wages and better benefits. The writer acknowledges that the problem with this solution is that it leaves a shortage of nurses in undeveloped countries where health care is needed. Yet, the writer argues that this may be the best solution for the United States.
From the Paper
"These two statistics show the need for the United States to find solutions to the nursing shortage. Solutions to end the shortage of nurses must be found before 2020 when many employees are no longer able to work and more nurses are needed to care for the elderly. One solution to the shortage is hiring nurses from other countries."
"The shortage of nurses continues to be a serious problem. The shortage of nurses is not only in the United States, but also in many other countries. The growing shortage is contributed to by having more employees becoming retired or unable to work due to age."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper focuses on the nursing shortage problem that's been plaguing hospitals in America for several decades. The writer delves into the various reasons for bringing in qualified nurses from outside the U.S. which include higher mortality rates in America as well as a significant decline in individuals turning to nursing as their chosen profession. This paper discusses the criteria organizations and hospitals look for when importing registered nurses to the U.S. from varying countries such as the Philippines, India and Nigeria. The writer contends and explains that while the practice of importing nurses to the U.S. is not new, the bottom line is that the number of foreign nurses recruited has significantly risen in the last decade. This paper also details the pluses and minuses in importing nurses including the fact that underdeveloped countries such as Africa feel threatened due to the massive recruitment of their trained nurses to the U.S.
From the Paper
"The trend of recruiting nurses from other countries is almost five decades old and United States has been attracting foreign nursing staff regularly for past many decades. However the rate of recruitment has increased significantly and now 5% of the total US nursing workforce consists of foreign qualified nurses and unfortunately or otherwise, this number is consistently increasing. The Philippines has been actively sending its nurses to the US and by mid-1980s, almost 85 percent of all foreign nurses came from this part of the world. This number declined when other countries also began participating in nurse export program. The number of foreign nurses employed in US hospitals grew steadily after 1998 and by 2003 it had reached 14 percent of the total US nursing workforce."

Conflicts and Problems Between Nurses, 2003.
The following paper discusses the complex relationships that evolve between the nurses on a unit.

Abstract
This paper examines the relationships between nurses in the same unit by drawing upon the author's own personal experiences and the experiences of other nurses in the field. Three proposed questions are answered using the author's unit as a kind of 'test case.' The writer uses this case to aid in making larger generalizations about nursing and about the nature of leadership in a unit of nurses.
From the paper:
"As I have said above, nurses are often thought of as part of a 'second tier' of authority, between that of doctors and physicians assistants (as well as other non-medical personnel on the ward, such as secretaries and receptionists). But on the unit I was assigned to, a clear hierarchy of leadership presented itself within the unit of nurses themselves. This hierarchy was partially determined by assigned authority."

Nurses and Substance Abuse, 2004.
This paper discusses the problem of substance abuse in nurses and the legal, ethical, political, and economic problems stemming from their substance abuse.
1,540 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that problems with substance abuse in nurses affect more than the individual; they affect the whole work team. The author defines an impaired nurse as a nurse who is unable to meet the requirements of a professional code of ethics and standards of practice because cognitive, interpersonal, or psychomotor skills are affected by excessive drug or alcohol use. The paper states that many impaired nurses are super-nurses; unfortunately, when they are finally recognized as having a chemical dependency, it is almost too late for an appropriate intervention that may save them from losing their jobs.
From the Paper
"The problem is that little research is actually available on substance abuse among nurses. In studying the history and present problems with substance abuse, it is important to define the meaning of substance abuse among nurses or others. "Substance misuse is defined as maladaptive patterns of psychoactive substance use indicated by continued use even when faced with recurrent occupational, social, psychological or physical problems as well as/or use in dangerous situations.""
