franciscanheart Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 one of the great things about a nursing degree is that no matter where you end up, you'll be sure it'll never go "to waste", as the world sees it. there will always be aging or sickly sisters to care for.

Sister Rose Therese Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Our biggest problem with the medical professions right now is a shortage that is only going to get bigger. Medical professions like Physician, Nurses, Physical Therapists... There aren't enough entering to fill in for the ones who are retiring. A great portion of our staff is made up of baby boomers. So as the baby boomers get older and need more medical attention, not only could we not take care of that number with our present staff, but we'll have fewer staff to do it. We are going to be having some hard times in the not so distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
