title: Implications of the nursing shortage.
abstract: It is a most important time for the ACC and AACN to work together to identify mutual interests, concerns and approaches. Securing a short-term and long-term balance between supply and demand is an issue that crosses disciplines. The implementation of solutions requires broader support if we are to be effective in our pursuit of quality, cost-efficient patient care.
