The nursing shortage revisioning the future.

A severe shortage of nurses is being experienced nationally and globally. In South Florida, one of the most severely impacted regions in the world, a group of healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and nursing organizations formed the Nursing Shortage Consortium to combat the nursing shortage. Strategic efforts to recruit and retain nurses are underway, with a focus on nurturing interest among young people and increasing opportunities to stimulate their interest, to increase the supply of appropriately prepared professional nurses.

Who really makes the bed? Uncovering technologic dissonance in nursing.

Technologic dissonance in the practice arena is demonstrated in the use of nonnursing technologies that are present in but technically incongruent with a nursing environment. Technology in nursing is not necessarily nursing technology. The article traces the influences of technologic dissonance beyond the reductionist purview of the medical model to their source in design and engineering philosophies. The vision of technologic consonance in nursing may be realized in the influence and expression of the caring nurse in the design, engineering, ownership, and use of nursing technology.
