What Does This Mean to You? Because of the nursing shortage, RN staffing levels are inadequate at many health care facilities. Nurses are caring for significantly more patients per day than they were a few years ago. 69% of nurses surveyed by the American Nurses Association cited inadequate staffing as a major factor in the declining quality of health care. As a result, you or a family member may not be getting the care you deserve when you require medical attention. You Can Help One of the reasons given for the declining enrollment in nursing schools is the high cost of obtaining a nursing degree. Many dedicated individuals with the desire to enter the nursing profession do not have the financial means to pursue their education. The Paying Forward Foundation is establishing scholarship funds at colleges and universities that will provide financial assistance to highly qualified students who are studying to become nurses or nurse practitioners. We need your help.
