To address the nursing shortage, countries can implement several strategies:
- Increase Nursing School Capacity: Expanding the capacity of nursing education programs can help produce more graduates. - Offer Incentives: Offering scholarships, loan forgiveness, and competitive salaries can attract more individuals to the nursing profession. - Improve Working Conditions: Enhancing work environments can reduce burnout and increase job satisfaction. - Streamline Licensing Processes: Simplifying the licensing process for internationally educated nurses can help fill gaps more quickly.
