With the overload that nurses are receiving in regards to their job functions, it leads to them to perform a strike on the street in order to express their sentiments over their situations to the government. This video had just presented that scenario of the strike that the some nurses have just conducted in Antioch, Illinois. As the result of that strike, all the more the government had become more alarm over the nursing profession in the country.

The government is very much hopeful that this plan out strategy will workout and the nursing concerns especially about nursing shortage will be resolve.


In the healthcare shortage issue here in the United States, nursing field is the most affected area because it has been found out that there are only few percentage of nursing personnel’s are declining and the are only few individuals who take up nursing courses in the different nursing schools in the country. Since, most of the individuals who have a desired to take up healthcare course program are to pursue a medical course program in top medical schools in the country. As well, some of the nurses especially the registered nurses in the country will usually went abroad to practice their profession because of the rewarding career that they got. As of now, it can be seen that New York is one of the major state that had been severely affected by the declination of the presence of nurses in the different healthcare institutions.

The restriction of not allowing any increase of educational expenditures for healthcare courses especially the nursing course program is because of the fact that most of the medical institutions are experiencing a shortage in nursing workforce as well to the other course program.

By not increasing the educational expenditures of the nursing program in the different nursing schools whether campus based or online school, it encourages more young individuals to take up this nursing program and other healthcare course program as their career education for their future career life. In that manner, the government’s goal of increasing the nursing personnel’s together with the other healthcare personnel’s in the country was hit for that instance because it motivated the young individuals to take this course program rather than taking another course program. The restriction of the increase of the healthcare course program was one of the supports that the government gave to the healthcare especially nursing workforce team to strengthen their career field and enables to increase their numbers. Aside of that support, the government are also giving healthcare facilities to the public healthcare educational learning institutes in order to lower down their expenditures.

Aside of that, it was also expected that there will be more nursing career opportunities that will be available as the years to come. This nursing career opportunities will still continue to occur as the years to come because it is expected that there will be more nursing staffs in the different medical or healthcare institutions who will be retiring. In that case, the different health care institutions are continuing preparing for that matter.

With the vast increase of the needs of nurses in the different health care institutions in the country, several nursing schools have also expanded their educational learning through building another campus building and even to the point of expanding it to online learning. In which, most of the nursing schools in the United States have a corresponding online nursing schools with consists different a nursing online degree program.

For several years, it has been an issue the necessity of increasing the nursing personnel’s in the different healthcare and medical institutions in the country. One area that the government have seen is the motivating several young high school students to take a nursing career course program in order to increase and strengthen the workforce of the nursing team. Although, there are several strategies that have been created in order to assists those young individuals who have a great desire in pursuing a nursing course program but don’t have much financial resources to support their educational learning. For that, it has been found out that most of the learners have availed the educational loan program that will serve as their educational learning support. Even though, that they have known that availing the educational loan or college student loan program entails a great burden on paying that kind of debt but still there are several individuals who are willing to avail this kind of educational assistance program. Besides, most of the nursing learners are thinking that they can gradually pay the educational loan by installment basis and will be finished as soon they got a job employment especially that there nursing course program are very much in demand and offers great job opportunities in the different healthcare and medical institutions.

To ease up the burden for those individuals who are availing the student loan financial aid especially to those learners who are taking a nursing course program, the government created another educational assistance program that primarily deals and supports the learners who are paying its educational debt. In which, the government have created a program that will allow the learners not to do any repayment in regards with the federal educational loan that they have availed but with the condition that they will be serving the governmental institutions especially the military field or do community service.

The newly assistance program gives opportunity for the learners to ease up their burden and free them from the bondage of paying the educational loan that they have availed.
