Staff suggestions on the nursing shortage. Nurses' recommendations on short- and long-term solutions.
The current nursing shortage has been with us in lesser forms for years, yet only now is attention being paid to possible solutions. To elucidate those solutions, the authors interviewed twenty-five New York City staff nurses, who eagerly gave their views on short- and long-term answers to the shortage, such as the use of temporary nurses and the need for autonomy and respect.
