Impact of Credit Crisis on Nursing – Topic on #RNchat
On tonight’s RNchat, we’ll discuss the short-term and long-term impacts of the credit crisis of 2008 on nursing:
- How has the re-entry of nurses into the market (due to lay-offs from non-nursing jobs, or lay-offs of spouses, etc.) affected employment prospects of new graduates?
- How might the re-entry of nurses impact the long-run?
- Will we see a drop in nursing school admissions?
