Abstract

Educating nurses about ethics is more complex, multidimensional, and time consuming than educating nurses about technical skills. Many factors, including the ability of the nurse to view situations holistically, the moral development of the nurse, and the institution's ethics, are involved. To illustrate how to teach nurses ethics, two examples of programs are detailed in this article.

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.
