A major problem in our society is nursing shortage, but an even bigger problem has now come to our attention; is the nursing shortage affecting the quality of patient care? ... According to the joint commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations nursing shortage is a “prescription for danger.” This statement was based off of a study done by The Oakbrook Terrace stating that nearly a quarter of the 1,609 cases of accidental injuries or death to hospitals in 1997 were caused by nursing shortage. ...
These facts and statistics should easily convince public that nursing shortage is affecting the quality of patient care, but that is not the case; many try to argue this issue and completely disagree. ... For example, according to the Chicago Tribune study, at least 1,720 hospital patients have accidentally dies and 9,584 others were injured since 1995 as a result of inadequate nursing.
