Education for nurses working abroad.

Abstract

Studying abroad poses unique challenges. These relate to the course content, materials, study activities and support, as well as assessment and evaluation. Making a careful assessment of needs, study stamina and support can help students make the right choice. As education is often culturally biased, familiarity with the nursing culture from which the course comes may be the most important prerequisite for success.

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.
