Hire Freeze During Era of Nursing Shortage

I was asked to comment on this article regarding the hiring freeze and hiring slowdown during the last few months.
Here is the link to the article Nation in Need of Nurses.

A few thoughts.
  • Did we bail out the wrong industry?  Call a banker next time your sick.
  • How many banker's bonuses would it take to keep our units staffed with a unit secretary?
  • Is more regulation and red tape the answer to improved health care?

Hmm, my thoughts seem to just invoke more questions.  Read the article for yourself and let me know your thoughts.

Very interesting! And in fact, I'm starting to see less travel nursing jobs and the ones that are coming up have been gone in the matter of minutes. I definitely believe that it's all a sign of the times.

I'm still waiting for O'Bama to fix healthcare.
