(ACA) Affordable Care Act is a reality. The real focus should be on what happens now! The anticipated shortage in the healthcare workforce has long been an area of concern since I became an RN in 1983. Now the possibility of an estimated additional 32 million Americans with med Insurance, hospitals must plan for the influx of these patients. It is estimated there will be a shortage of 63,000 doctors by 2015 with over 15 million patients reaching eligibility for Medicare. The AMN 2013 Clinical workforce survey reported the nationwide vacancy for RNs at 17%. The AACN reported that in 2008 vast numbers of applicants were turned away from nursing education programs, due to shortages of nursing faculty. So lets stop the BS about repealing the ACA and get serious about caring for all Americans.
