In the past two decades, nurse shortage has been a major problem in the United States. Although the nursing schools and colleges of nursing are producing thousands of graduates each year, large number of nurses leaving the profession, coupled with the increased number of admissions for all segments of the population has continued to fuel the nursing shortage. The immediate problem nursing shortage poses to nursing is that it increases the nurse-to-patient ratio as hospitals scramble to take care of their patients (Drenan, 2020). The increase in workload leads to stress, fatigue, burnout, and nursing errors as nurses scramble to fulfil their duties. In fact, studies show that the nursing shortage has created a direct danger to patients as nurses who are overloaded with work often overlook significant steps in patient care (Drenan, 2020). In many hospital, the lack of nurses has led to disgruntled nurses who constantly complain about their workloads and pass their frustration to patients whom some of them regard as the source of their problems, leading to rare but real patient abuse (Rosenberg, 2019). Another problem the nurse shortage creates is that it leads hospitals to hire part-time nurses who may not be committed to patients as nurses that work full time and that could pose a problem to patients.
