Hospitals attempting to curb nursing shortages

The problem of Nursing shortage is truly artificial and one created by Nursing board. The hospitals have played along with JCAHO to foster the "invincibility of RNs". LPNs can very well do 95% of the work of an RN including 100% of paperwork and documentation. Even if they are not allowed to "push drugs IV", there is no reason why they cannot monitor patients. ACLS trained nurses are really no better at handling emergencies than non-ACLS trained LPNS. Why not allow LPNS to do the ACLS course so that they learn what the deal is..
RNs don't want to work. In Orangeburg SC where I have my practice, I cannot find a well-educated, reliable RN willing to work 36 hours a week for 40 hours pay, dote needed nursing and QA duties for excellent pay and benefits. they come to work with a load of personal and family problems and start demanding all kinds of concessions even before they start working! On trainee nurse texted her friends 5 times,could not follow simple directions, slept off on a stool in the hallway by 2:30 PM. She later called the office manager told us that she discussed with her mom who felt "she don't need to be working so hard" and decided not to turn up tomorrow!
Two answers to the artificial nursing shortage: 1) Let physicians decide to train the nurses they want to hire, whether they are LPNS or RNs. These people work under the supervision of Physician anyway.
2)Open up the floodgate to willing highly skilled foreign nurses. I have rarely seen a Korean, Indian or Filipino nurse with an attitude. They talk less and do a splendid job.

Look at what NPs adn now thanks to Columbia Univ. "Doctorate Nurse Practitioners" have done to primary care. Did anyone ask Primary care physicians if they cared to lose their jobs and livelihood to people without medical qualifications?

Do not hire nurses from other countries,I hear some of them are mean,and the patients can not understand them.do not hire nurses that cannot speak english...Its a matter of life and death....
make sure they are not mean people,that is also a
matter of life and death.....I hear that nurseing
homes have people who abuse their elderly patients... and make sure only women take care of women,,,,,,,people every where are talking about this issue.....Then theres hospice,its murder....
The life you save may be your own...
