Several factors contribute to regional imbalances in nursing:
Economic Disparities: Wealthier regions can afford better healthcare infrastructure and higher salaries for nurses, attracting more qualified professionals. Urban vs. Rural Divide: Urban areas typically offer more job opportunities, better facilities, and a higher standard of living, drawing nurses away from rural areas. Educational Opportunities: Regions with more nursing schools and training programs are likely to have a higher concentration of nurses. Policy and Governance: Government policies and healthcare funding can significantly influence the distribution of nursing resources.
