Abstract

The Nurse in Washington Internship (NIWI) is a four-day annual program sponsored by the National Federation of Specialty Nursing Organizations (NFSNO). Aside from presenting a dynamic educational experience, NIWI enables nurses to actively participate in the legislative process by spending a day on Capitol Hill. The 2000 NIWI focused on several issues of importance to nurses and nursing practice. This article discusses those issues.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
