[quote=Anonymous]The push for career advancement in nursing also seems to lead to the sentiment that it isn't ok for an RN to stay an RN for their career. We still deal with a nursing shortage, but it is made worse, in a way, by the push for career options. It is very rare for a new nurse to stay in med surge for more than a year or two. By the time you train them, they want to move to ICU or a specialty area (and then get their NP degree) and now you're spinning wheels trying to hire and train new med surge RNs. On the other hand, med surge nursing is also completely brutal and it seems the only way to make it any easier is mandated nursing ratios... Which hospitals hate. Maybe there should be tuition incentives - work in med surge nursing for 5 years, the hospital will cover some significant x percent of your NP degree[/quote]
