Nurses

Let's talk about a challenge that's hitting close to home in Pennsylvania's healthcare system. The state is facing a serious nursing shortage that's becoming impossible to ignore. Pennsylvania faces a significant shortage of registered nurses in the coming years. This reality is pushing schools and healthcare facilities to get creative with solutions.

Here's the thing about nursing in Pennsylvania right now - we're watching experienced nurses retire faster than new ones can step in to fill their shoes. Healthcare facilities across the state are experiencing high vacancy rates, leading to increased patient loads per nurse. This situation creates additional pressure on current nurses and impacts patient care quality.
