Workforce issues are related to supply and demand from either an over-abundance of nurses or
connected to a nursing shortage. Workforce issues influence nursing practice on a daily basis.
For this assignment, read the two articles: “VA Nurses Tell of Distress at Patient Care
Conditions” and “Maintaining Professional Standing”. These two articles were written at least 50
years ago and describe workforce issues from the past.
Begin your assignment by listing a few of the workforce issues from the two articles.
Then answer the following questions:
Are the identified workforce issues from the above articles still an issue today or are they resolved (and no longer) issues? Explain your answer by providing examples for one or two of the issues; support your examples with literature resources.
Other than the above issues, describe an issue in nursing practice today. Provide at least one example of the issue. Use the literature to support your description of why itÂ’s an issue and how it can be resolved.
This Assignment should not exceed three pages.
