Nursing shortage! Nursing shortage? It seems to depend on who's talking.
What's the condition of the nursing shortage in America? Is it over? Is it still worsening? Was the problem exaggerated in the first place? Definitive answers don't come easily. Depending on whose statistics you use or the interpretation of the information, the answers can be quite different, as an examination of American Hospital Assn. and American Nurses Assn. data shows.
