Nursing Outlook

Over the last two decades, there has been a global shortage of nurses in practice and in academia, which is directly impacting the quality and safety of patient care (IOM, 2011). The World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) projects that there will be a global shortage of 18 million health care workers by 2030. To meet the demands of health systems nationally and globally, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2011) and more recently, the WHO (2020) recommend increasing enrollment of students in nursing programs in order to graduate enough qualified nurses to care for the complex health needs of our aging population, and mitigate the threat of an aging health workforce.
