Based on a 2016 survey composed of 838 participating hospitals, and supported by over 50 recent articles and studies, it is evident that the nursing shortage has reemerged, with the BLS reporting a need for 233,000 additional RNs just in each of the next 2 years, due in part by the creation of 574,400 new jobs and exacerbated by the Recession where 26.3% of the 555,100 retirement eligible RNs delayed retirement, all contributing to “the false and misleading impression of an evaporated shortage or that their has been a growth in the RN workforce”. Nurse recruitment will be at a faster pace in 2016 and 2017 as a healthier economy and a shrinking uninsured population and baby boomers fuel the uptick in patient care needs. Yet hospitals are unprepared for the calamity of how to recruit staff and control spiraling labor cost. The key questions are: (1) “how does one minimize the effects of the shortage?
