One of the effects of the pandemic has been to highlight, and exacerbate, the shortage of skilled heath care professionals such as RNs, CMAs, etc. On Monday, we’ll discuss the extent and causes of the shortage, as well as what can be done about it.
Here are some relevant readings:
State of Nursing 2022 (Nurse.org)
Nurses are not OK (Grid News)
Board Report on Closure (Island Nursing Home, Deer Isle)
If you haven’t already read the Island Nursing Home report in this week’s Packet, I encourage you to do so. It provides real, local information on many challenges we have discussed in the past.
