I personally do not believe there is a shortage of nurses in the US. If hospital leadership were more respectful and supportive of our profession, many nurses would return to the bedside. I for one did not enter nursing to be the "whole show", aka primary nursing. I expected ancillary support from nurse aides, unit secretaries and the like. Hospitals just don't get it: nurses want time to take care of their patients, not answer the phones and perform tasks that do not require our college education/skill set to perform.
