For several months, it had been a concerned because of the issue of the nursing shortage but somehow it was already given a solution but just recently another concern had arisen in the medical industries. This concerned is about the observation of the decrease of the numbers of doctors or physician in the different medical industries. This observation is really a major concern because the doctors played a very important and major role in the society. In that case, the United States government officials called a massive support from the medical schools in order to increase the production of the doctors in the nation. Just recently the different governmental officials together with the medical schools administrators and healthcare personnel’s coming from across the nation held attended the conference in Kansas City. In there conference, they discuses different aspects on how to come up a resolution in resolving the gradually decrease of doctors in the nation. In which, there are three main strategies that they have been agreed upon.
The first strategy is to convince of the individuals who have taken a nursing career to continually pursue a higher learning in the medical field in order to become physicians or doctors. Since, it had been found out that there are several young individuals who have pursued a nursing educational learning in the different nursing schools because of the campaign in increasing the nursing population rate.
The second strategy is make several scholarship program and grants for the individuals who have a desired to take a medical course in the different medical educational learning institutes in order to give opportunity for those individuals who have lack of financial resources but still want to pursue a medical career. A third main strategy is to establish a virtual school and opened a medical online degree. In which, this online program will just cater the first and second stage of medical learning phase. Somehow this strategy is quite helpful because it will lower the educational expenditure upon pursuing medical education and making it affordable so that many learners can be able to take a medical course program.
This two main strategy have been visualize as a greater help for the individuals who will be taking a medical courses in the medical schools and increase the population rate of the doctors or physician in the different medical institutions.
With these situations, the United States government together with the different medical institutions and private sectors or organizations had been united in order to form several sets of schemes in order to counteract the occurrence of this nursing shortage in the different places or medical and health care institutions in the United States. One of the best examples of the schemes that have been created is the recent fund raising program Johnson and Johnson have launch to be benefited by the Pennsylvania state especially the nursing school. Since, it has been found out the state of Pennsylvania is experiencing a severe nursing shortage in their area. The launching of these fund raising program will be a great help in resolving the nursing shortage in their area. The fund raising campaign that was launched is called Johnson and Johnson Campaign program for Nursing’s Future. This campaign program was organized in order to raise funds for the financial assistance of the students who will be aspiring to become future nurses but financially hard up. As well, it had been reported that the fund raising program that the Johnson and Johnson have launched had already reached an amount of $550,000. This amount will be allotted for the nursing scholarship and educational grant for the students who will be taking registered nursing degree or vocation nursing program.
In that manner, it is quite clear that American individuals especially the Pennsylvanian people are very much responsive in resolving the nursing shortage by increasing the nursing students in the nursing school.
Nowadays, it can be observe that in the United States there are several individuals who have get an undergraduate nursing programs course and other types of nursing course program. The vast increase of the nursing students is because of the call out and encouragement of the young individuals to take a nursing degree course program in order to increase the population rate of the nurses in the different medical institutions in the United States. Since, it had been reported that most medical institutions have only few nurses in their institutions. As well, the vast increased of the nursing enrollees in the nursing schools can be explained by several nursing career opportunities that waits for the individuals who will finished the nursing course program.
Most of the nursing career opportunities that are available in the different medical institutions are quite attractive because of the higher range of compensation rate that it offers and with the presence of the different benefits that are offered such as healthcare, insurance for themselves and for their families. With this great career opportunity, it convinces more young individuals to take up the different nursing course program especially the undergraduate nursing programs. The different student financial assistance program such as working student program, scholarship program and the availability of the different educational loan are the other elements that have help increase the numbers of nursing students in the different prestigious nursing schools in the United States.
It has been reported also that most of the young nursing learners have taken their nursing course through the accredited online degree program that offered by the different virtual nursing schools. This online nursing course program are only available and offered for the young nurses who wants to forego a higher educational learning for the nursing field which are the masters degree program, doctorate and even for registered nurses for the graduates of the nursing associates or nursing vocational course programs. With these it gives, it gives opportunity for the vocational nurses to widen their nursing career opportunities.
Indeed, the different accredited online program for the vocational nurses or the nurses who wants to forego their higher educational learning is very much helpful in order to attain the different nursing career opportunities. As well, the scholarship programs and working student programs are also essential elements upon increasing the number of future nurses in the nation and to give resolution to issue of nursing shortage.
A recent survey in the US reported that the biggest employers of local and international nurses are hospitals. The Department of Health and Human Services said as per record hospitals employed 56.2 percent of the total nurses that are now working in the US. This is also followed by the community health centers that are run by the government and private groups at 14.9 percent. The ambulatory care also got a total employment of 11.5 for nurses aside from physicians and nursed base practices.
The shocking revelation about the survey is that only 2.6 percent of professional nurses applied I nursing education and this perhaps explains the shortage in nursing professionals in the US, the DHHS continued. Though there are now boarding schools for nurses in the US to strengthen enrollments of more nurses. Other offices which also hire the services of nursing professionals include health associations, federal administrative agencies, State boards of nursing, insurance companies, jails, equipment and pharmaceutical companies.
The career education for nursing is now among the pressing concerns of the US government. For the meantime their solution is only to hire more nursing professionals as well as nursing aides in developed countries of the world while they experiencing a decline in nursing professionals in their country. It said that the 2.6 percent number of nursing working as educators is really a problem right now. The American government is now strengthening its student loan education program to be able to drive new nursing graduates. The US government has been throwing millions of dollars salaries to international nurses which found their homes in the American soul. In fact, there are nurses in Asia that are now green card holders in America. They prefer to live in the US saying that the country is a good place for living. There are many works available and people should not feel worried of having no job.
This really is a special time and something you’ll only ever do once! The days leading up to your graduation are an excellent time to meet up with class mates, go for coffee and discuss how far you’ve come, what you’ve achieved and what your plans for the future involve. It may be that you are moving away from home to be a travel nurse and so you’re faced with one of the last opportunities with your class mates for a while to come. Should this be the case, graduation week is the time to be making plans for visits! Perhaps there’s a group of you who’ll be working in the same hospital; in this case, discuss the possibility of living together – after graduation you’ll be so busy with your new job you’ll find it near impossible to look for accommodation. Most importantly, this is the last time you’ll have to discuss problems with your teaching nurses. Have any doubts about your future career? They can advise you having had lots of experience with recent graduates. They could also refer you to a good career education advisor should you still not know what to do with your nursing degree. Being the last week, don’t forget to take the opportunity to thank your teacher for everything you have learnt and the opportunities the nursing qualification has given you. A great time to do this, if you are far too busy with other graduation activities, would be on Teacher Appreciation Day 2008. This is a day on which the whole of your nursing class could reunite, to meet the teacher and discuss how your new nursing placements are going and how you have put your teacher’s wisdom to good use. He or she will really be grateful for the feedback and it could serve to mould the next group of nursing students who’d benefit from your experience.
On the day of the nursing school graduation itself, remember to take lots of photos, you’ll relish the memories when you’re older! What’s more is to enjoy yourself and have some quiet time to reflect on your education and to plan your future; after all the stress of nursing final exams, this is an ideal time to clear your mind and focus on what’s really important.
Your graduation is a special day, not just because it is the end of your nursing school education but because it’s the start of your nursing career!
