Yet another nursing shortage is upon us but this time it’s projected to be here for decades. Almost as many people are leaving the nursing profession as are entering it. Many nurses are nearing retirement; only 12 percent of registered nurses are under age 30. At the same time, the aging baby boomer population is creating a growing need for nursing care. To address these and related issues, the Alliance for Health Reform is sponsoring an October 17 luncheon briefing. Panelists include: Edward O'Neil, director of the Center for the Health Professions at University of California, San Francisco; Kerry P. Nesseler, associate administrator of the Bureau of Health Professions at HHS; Barbara Blakeney, president, American Nurses Association; and Maureen White, chief nurse executive, North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System.
