Still not enough Nurses

What are all the sick and dying going to do, when all the baby boomer nurses retire? Today in Ontario we are already short nurses, now we are going to lose even more in the near future due to retirement. We will not be able to replace all of them with the newly graduated nurses of 2009. There is simply just not enough nurses to fill the all the needs we have in the health care system today. Although there is quite a bit of awareness of this issue, we need to do as much as we can to promote nursing and what benefits come with this amazing profession. Nurses are in such high demand and we need to do everything we can to get more students to think about the possibility of becoming a nurse. I cannot wait until I graduate and help those in need of nursing care in Ontario.
