title: The nursing shortage: dynamics and solutions. The three R's: recruitment, restructuring the environment, and reformulating the curriculum.
abstract: The current and future nursing shortage calls for cooperative efforts by nursing professional organizations, nursing schools, and health care providers. These efforts must be geared toward an all-out recruitment effort aimed at teenagers and workers in non-health care fields, a restructuring of the nursing workplace, and a reformulation of nursing curricula.
