“….The continuing recession will contribute to easing or even ending the current registered nurse (RN) shortage in many areas of the country, as older nurses delay retirement or return to the workforce and part-time nurses become full time in response to the employment insecurity of their spouses, according to a study by Peter Buerhaus of the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing and coauthors published today on the Health Affairs Web site.
However, the relief will be temporary: A new RN shortage looms in the next decade. The study by Buerhaus, the Valere Potter Professor of Nursing at Vanderbilt, and coauthors is one of six studies on the nursing workforce published online today by Health Affairs. Other study authors include John Rother, executive vice president for policy and strategy at AARP; Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president and chief executive officer of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; and Linda Aiken, the Claire M. Fagin Leadership Professor at the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research,
