There isn't really a nursing shortage. That's mostly marketing to get more people to attend nursing school so they can saturate the market and drive down wages. What there is a shortage of is nurses willing to work bedside for shit pay, terrible ratios and no protections. It's so bad that somewhere between a third and half of new nurses leave the profession within the first two years after graduation.
The nursing shortage is a global phenomenon.
A shortage of high-skilled low-paid workers.
