The opportunity to tell histories of a full nursing career starting w/Viet Nam and continuing to the Covid Era would be noteworthy to read. The realistic social & cultural expeditions to be trained like no other professionals define dedication and mystery for all nurses. What harbors nurse’s experiences from making public events noteworthy is simply what the nurse knows that nobody else does. More importantly, what many of us won’t share. We learn that this is our professionalism and keep our love of the Nursing Practice most often in to ourselves. Most of us are the rock b/w the patient and the world. This is a love we know and can greatly differ and not carry over to beastly outsiders of our field work and bedside journeys. Management of nurses by nurses is a major element of studies of pre-covid era statistics which is uneventful until the plandemic. Stressing nurses will predictably by 2030 cause significant shortage in all states, except Florida & Virginia…Resourcing 1/2 of nurse management to hands on nursing, would impact this shortage although happy nurses would diminish rapidly. Bedside nurses love nursing; management & regulatory do not. To answer the question here is Governments are the biggest problems for nurses being happy w/great work.
A nurse from Massachsetts whom mentored many students to overcome the demons by which this nursing profession breeds . How did she do that? She was raised in and amongst demons and refused to give up on anybody. Sort of like AL Davis who created great teams from social cast offs. She was Natalie Petzold, former director of the Massachusetts General School of Nursing. I know this as I am one of those cast offs.

Natalie Petzold.
The unfortunate truth is that nurse shortage is impossible to calculate accurately as many nurse keep lic. active but don’t work much as it’s too dam hard.
