Make it easier for ppl to enter the field with less theoretical qualifications required to begin, and more practical on the job training towards accredited certification. Employees should enter as students. And work the way up as students with practical and theoretical training for period of say 4 years approx with reasonable pay.
Increase pay for Nurses and benefits
Introduce nurses training into the highschool and junior highschool curricula or/and
provide housing benefits for nurses, combined with a contract work package for free training

Training, schools are backed up. Then people get in the field and they change carreers because of only salary and burn out.
Could allow EMTs and Paramedics to do more, but they get paid less then garbage men.
It shocks me that this country would allow the people that could be saving your lives in an emergency to make the same amount of money as someone working at McDonald's or Burger King.

I believe nurses should be paid more and have better incentives. It's not just anyone who can do what they have to do and not complain. Plus they usually work in a facility that is open 24hr/day 365dys/year. Now President Bush mandated 40hr week before overtime not just after working 8hrs. I'd like to see him try it.

Better pay, on-site child care, good benefits, shorter shifts or smaller patient/nurse ratios. Solid support from Administration would be nice, too, but might be asking a little too much!

Caps on lawsuit amounts. Supportive employers who will stand behind their nurses. More money. Better benefits.

I agree, most people shy away from this profession because of the salary and inflexible scheduling which usually means very LONG hours. If someone wants to go and work themselves to death, they want to make a decent wage doing it!
