  • Title: The shortage tsunami and high school guidance counselors' perspectives on future nurse recruitment.
    Author: Rudel RJ, Moulton P, Arneson K.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2009; 18(6):369-74, 384. PubMed ID: 20088191.
    Abstract:
    The current recession has eased the shortage of registered nurses (RNs), but this must be viewed only as a transient, temporary lull. The nurse shortage predictions still are greatly concerning. This article extends the most current RN shortage forecasts, an overview of this shortage "tsunami", and recent/current workforce recruitment strategies across the United States. A related explanatory study of high school counselors is presented, designed to improve understanding of decision-making influences on today's youth and to explore the extent of awareness counselors have about nursing.
