Abstract
This paper examines the shortage of staff in the tourism industry, the reasons for it and solutions to it. The author discusses vocational education vs. on-the-job training, asserting that while the latter is preferable, a perfect intertwining of the two would be ideal.
From the Paper
"Global competition is also forcing the industry to raise its professional standards and, subsequently to raise its pay standards. New and better training programs are being developed to help generate a sufficient supply of qualified workers for the tourism industry. Most managers require post-secondary schooling and several years' working experience. Yet a skill shortage continues to exist."

Abstract
The paper introduces the problem of a dwindling supply of nurses in the work force while the population requiring nursing services continues to grow. It examines possible reasons why fewer people are entering the nursing profession, including low pay, long hours, little room for advancement and excessive workload. One possible solution, that of attempting to improve these conditions and recruiting heavily, would provide a force of novice nurses. The challenges that novice nurses present, such as inexperience and increased supervisory requirements, are discussed.
From the Paper
"One need only read the newspaper ?Classified? ads to realize that employers are trying many clever marketing tactics to attract prospective nurses into their organizations. Many are offering sign-on bonuses, extra benefits and other amenities to attract a limited supply of nurses. As both the general population and the elderly population grow, the number of nurses needed to care for them increases proportionally as well. The number of people choosing to pursue nursing as a career has been on the decline, mainly due to long working hours, low pay, high job stress and other factors."

Introduction
Teacher Shortage, Certification and Turnover Rate
Solution to Teacher Shortage
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Certification also acts as an obstacle. According to Ms. Charlotte Willis (personal communication June 2, 2005), she felt that luck was not in her favor in terms of securing a teaching job because she lacks the necessary teacher certification. She applied for a teaching position at Wake County public school system but was turned down because of lack of certification. One of the most controversial issue school districts generally may encounter is recruiting foreign teachers. Teachers and Parent Teachers Associations (PTA) frequently not only fight proposals that calls for recruitment of foreign teachers but may engage in activities that may spark community opposition. "

Abstract
This paper focuses on the nursing shortage in the health care sector, although it also goes into issues of how technology changes in the nursing environment can mean a better future for more nurses. The report focuses on the nursing shortage in the light of the fact that there is additional work piling up for those nurses who are still practicing, as more and more nurses leave the field, and fewer enter into it. This report also looks at increasing technology from a management perspective as a possible solution to the nursing shortage problem. Spending more on technology often means less for nurses, howeve,r and this must also be addressed from a management perspective. Therefore, simply hiring more nurses is not a long-term solution to the problem.
From the Paper
"Nurses should have more educational benefits, thus attracting new talent to the nursing profession and ensuring that nurses would be able to get degrees. "In recent years, attendance at the New York State Nursing Association's multiday conferences has suffered because understaffed hospitals are reluctant to give nurses time off or the nurses are too busy to attend, said Mark Genovese, spokesperson for the NYSNA in Latham, N.Y. Money also is an issue. Nurses increasingly must rely on their own finances to attend meetings" (Myint, 2003). It would also be easier to cope with these issues if the nurse-patient ratio was decreased so that nurses do not have such a heavy workload.
Agency nurses should be cut back to allow more time for full-time nurses. Various nursing organizations across the country have implemented changes that address this very serious problem."

Abstract
This paper explains that the nursing shortage is a multiple problem, which has continued through out the history of Canada. The author points out that the usual approach to the problem is economic --- find more nurses and give more money. The paper relates that the most formidable barrier to solving the problem is the government's idea that nurses are expendable and that, since shortages are merely short-term problems, they can be addressed through these temporary solutions.
From the Paper
"Although the current nursing shortage is unique in that it has attained crisis proportions, it is just one episode in a historical pattern. Furthermore, the nursing shortage is a complex issue involving multiple problems of numbers, working conditions, work satisfaction, as well as the socio-cultural position of nurses and their lack of a voice. Numerous barriers hinder the resolution of the nursing shortage and all of them are based in perspective. The most formidable barrier is the idea that nurses are expendable and that, since shortages are merely short-term problems, they can be addressed through temporary solutions."

From the Paper
"In the United States, there are approximately 2.9 million Registered Nurses comprising the largest job group in provision of healthcare. Nurses are the primary providers of hospital patient care caring for the sick and infirm. Nurses assist in medical procedure, enforce physician's instructions administer drugs and dress wounds. Nurses provide patients with an education in issues of healthy living and wellness as well as any current or chronic disease process and treatments. Nurses usually work along side other medical practitioners as staff nurses and are surely the backbone of the health care system (Goldsteen & Jonas, 2007). However, in recent years there has been a vast shortage of nurses in the healthcare industry that is expected to intensify dramatically as baby boomers age and the need for healthcare grows.
"Research shows that approximately 72% of hospitals reported a nursing shortage at their facilities. It is believed that by the year 2020, over 44 states and the District of Columbia will be experiencing a shortage of registered nurses (Aiken et al. 2001). In 2000, the Department of Health and Human Services indicated that the demand for R.N. will reach 2 million while only 1.89 million were available resulting in a shortage of 110,000 or 6%. The department made the following projections that by 2020; the shortage of R.N. in relation to demand will reach 29% with over 1 million nursing positions will remain vacant (Chaguturu, 2005)."

Demonstration of Critical Thinking
From the Paper
"This proposed study design demonstrates critical thinking through applying analysis of retention rates to the status of the nursing population. It is hypothesized that if the wage increase is effective, it is sufficient to compensate for the stresses associated with nursing and there will be a permanent overall retention of the nursing work force. If it is not sufficient, it is hypothesized that the nurses will not remain at that one hospital. This provides a foundation for engaging hospital administrators in a debate over the severity of stress for nurses and whether financial incentives are sufficient to compensate for stress in the long term setting."

Abstract
In this article, the writer focuses on the effect of the present and sustained shortage of nursing personnel within the medical community. The study also includes a discussion as to the present shortage of multidisciplinary nursing personnel; i.e., nurses trained in more than one specialty, gender disparity and retention and recruitment. Following a discussion of the identified nursing shortage and possible solutions, a Fishbone Chart is presented. This chart systematically lists the major different causes of the nursing shortage which contribute to the problem. Further, the chart relates to the shortage cause and effect situation and provides an informational data sheet presentation. The writer concludes that without a concentrated effort on the part of the medical community, educational institutions, and federal government the scarcity of nurses will continue to rise.

Data Chart on Nursing Shortage

From the Paper
"As nurses can no longer solely rely on the traditional nursing practices to deliver patient care, a resolution to the shortage issue is first found in the development of a health care marketing plan that targets individuals who have a basic interest in nursing. Such a plan must include all the components necessary to attract well- qualified people, namely image, diversity, employment stability, benefits, working conditions, and educational assistance. No longer is it a simple case, for example, that an institution may have 20 nursing positions to fill, but rather that they have specialized nursing positions to fill such as; 5 surgical nurse positions, 10 pediatric nurse positions and 4 oncology nurse positions. The fact is, many nursing positions are highly specialized, and simply adding additional functions to a nurses' ever-increasing list of responsibilities is not an adequate solution to the nursing shortage. In addition, failing to recognize the need for nurse specialties compounds the nursing shortage issue."

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
This paper discusses how the current nursing shortage is more severe and complex than any previous shortage and how the causes of the shortage must be properly identified so that the appropriate innovations can be introduced. In particular, the paper looks at how E. Roger's (1983) theory of diffusion is perfect for the change process since it emphasizes the necessity of full knowledge of the problem and the innovation.

The Challenge of the Nursing Shortage
Rogers' (1983) Theory of Diffusion
The Use of Multiple Frames
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The current nursing shortage is interrelated with other challenges, and none have easy or swift solutions. The shortage is coupled with an aging workforce as well as increasing health care costs (Copeland, 2005). The shortage is causing high workloads and stress for nurses as well as injuries to overburdened nurses and inadequate patient care. In addition, the nursing shortage is exacerbating in another way since another one-third reduction in nurse educators is about to occur due to retirements and resignations."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This view is supported by numerous studies and official statistics. A number of national surveys, including one by the American Hospital Association, indicate that hospitals are averaging 11 percent to 14 percent vacancy rates in nursing positions, which amount to about 120,000 vacancies nationwide. Furthermore, the federal government predicts the number of vacancies will surpass 800,000 by 2020. "The projected shortage in 2020 results from a projected 40 percent increase in demand between 2000 and 2020, compared to a projected 6 percent growth in supply..."
