(KTAR.com) Ten years ago, Arizona hospitals couldn’t hire nurses fast enough.
Many times, hospitals had to hire on additional help through national nursing registries to fill up the roster. The recession has changed that.
“A lot of nurses aren’t retiring as early as before,” said Pert Wertheim, vice president of Strategic Communications for the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association. [Read more...]
(nurse.com) The United States must develop a stronger nursing workforce to fill an estimated 1.2 million nursing jobs that will open within the next decade and to meet the increasing healthcare demands of an aging population, American Nurses Association President Karen Daley, RN, PhD, MPH, FAAN, told a congressional committee Thursday.
Daley submitted testimony to the House Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies to request $251 million in funding for nursing workforce development through Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act and $20 million for nurse-managed health clinics in fiscal year 2013. President Obama appropriated $251 million for nursing workforce development in his budget, but the Republican-led House of Representatives may be unlikely to agree to that total during negotiations.

(Forest Lake Times) It’s only been in recent years that I’ve become fully aware of the need and personal responsibility to say thanks to Vietnam veterans.
It’s the war of my generation and in the years that it raged to its most brutal levels, I was safely removed, a college student watching from afar.
In the early years of the war, years when I was still in high school, I was hawkish and firmly believed in the effort. That changed in my college years, perhaps largely becuse I was of military service age. How opinions can change. [Read more...]

(Huffington Post) The nursing role is rapidly evolving as nurses are tasked with an even wider range of health care responsibilities. Caring for the sick has certainly gotten more complicated. Hospitals are understaffed. Budgets are tight.
The graying of our society — plus growing rates of diabetes, obesity, and other conditions — means the health care system is dealing with an increasing number of complex illnesses. And with political elections looming, it’s unclear what the regulatory landscape might look like in the future. [Read more...]
(US News & World Report) According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the healthcare industry is rapidly expanding. Between 2008 and 2018, it is estimated that the field will generate 3.2 million new wage and salary jobs, which is more than any other industry in the nation.
The high demand for healthcare employees is largely being fueled by the baby boomer generation, which is set to retire and leave many positions vacant in the near future. Additionally, as these individuals age, they will require advanced care from professionals like registered nurses. [Read more...]

(Philly.com) Your clothes are a little tighter. You don’t remember the last time you went to the gym. You’ve been reaching for the remote more regularly – and for the chips instead of an apple. You are not looking forward to those blood-test results, either.
But the doctor didn’t say anything about your weight, so you shouldn’t be concerned about it. Right?
The reality is that health-care providers and patients often fail to discuss excess weight and obesity when they should. If the American obesity epidemic is going to get better, it’s going to have to start with improved communication. [Read more...]
