The document provides information on two topics related to nursing: nurse staffing and the nursing shortage outlook. For nurse staffing, the American Nurses Association (ANA) works to address optimal working conditions and safe staffing levels to effectively deliver nursing care, though an aging workforce presents challenges. Regarding the nursing shortage outlook, while experienced nurses have deferred retirement, they cannot do so indefinitely; employing new nurses and providing rewarding retirements for experienced nurses, along with continued professional development, can help address healthcare workforce demands (Nurse Staffing, n.d.; Nursing Shortage Outlook, n.d.).

TOPIC 1: NURSE STAFFING

REFERENCE:

Nurse Staffing. https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/nurse-staffing/.

SUMMARY:

Despite the American Nurses Association’s (ANA) efforts to address optimal working

conditions for a better delivery of health care, the aging workforce seems to be one of the main

reasons why our healthcare system is challenged. Appropriate nurse staffing is needed to be able

to deliver nursing care effectively. With this, ANA continues to provide “the best in evidence-

based policy, practice, products, advocacy and professional development to ensure safe staffing

and transform health and health care delivery” (“Nurse Staffing”, n.d.).

TOPIC 2:

REFERENCE:

Nursing Shortage Outlook. https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/workforce/nursing

shortage-outlook/.

SUMMARY:

Apparently, the problem with the workforce lies within the deferred retirements of

veteran nurses. According to ANA Health Economist Peter McMenamin, PhD, “they represent

40 percent or more of employed nurses, and they can't defer retirement forever” (“Nursing

Shortage Outlook”, n.d.). The issue here is to employ young and capable nurses to continue with

the demands of the new health care system while providing a rewarding retirement for the aging

nurses. A continued professional development is also needed to meet the challenges of healthcare

trends in the new normal.
