Abstract
A severe nursing shortage has been growing across the United States over the past six years and the outlook on immediate signs of recovery is bleak. It has become an increasing worry to the federal and state governments, nurses, health-care providers and hospitals, current nursing students, and nursing schools. Despite efforts, the need for nurses continues to rise, tabulating to 75% of all hospital personnel vacancies. Nursing schools and colleges are faced with the dilemma of how to produce more nursing faculty while health-care providers are making decisions on how to recruit more nurses to their institutions.
