Nursing shortages are becoming more and more pronounced throughout the country. The numbers of nurses in the hospitals are slowly decreasing. Such decreases disrupt the effectiveness of client-centered care and interrupt the standards of nursing. There are not enough nurses to provide kind and quality care that is always expected. The consequences of the shortages are affecting both the nurses and the patients. Nursing shortages may lead to future ‘burn-out’ of nurses. The emotional exhaustion of nurses may lead to inadequate number of nurses, decline of quality of patient care, and an increase in workload. Overall, with a nursing shortage, more pressure would be put on healthcare professionals, outlining that the stress may affect the nurses behaviour as well as the patient and their needs.
I believe it is my job as a nurse to effectively contribute my hard work and dedication to my colleagues and my patients. I want to help as much as possible to alleviate the nursing shortages. With me and other nursing students, the shortages will hopefully improve just one nurse at a time!
