Raphael Thomas Professor Davis ICW/Interview March 26 2012 Have you ever thought about the future of our healthcare programs in the United States or even our health care professionals, like nurses? Some say that one day this will be a demanded job in the near future. Nurses do more writing than one would dream of, because not everything in the world is ran by computers, which makes writing an essential part of a nurses job; meanwhile still remembering what their main job id and that is to keep people healthy and to save lives.

In fact, 30 U.S. states today have nursing shortages. And by 2020, the government projects, 44 states plus the District of Columbia will have shortfalls. Many people don’t want to do this job anymore because it’s demanding work and can be dangerous. Diana Mason, editor in chief of the American Journal of Nursing says, “we will never have enough nurses unless we fix the work environment.” In order to address this problem, some facilities have tried out some different solutions, for example, more than 1,000 nurses from the Philippines were hired in the U.S. in the last five years.

There is an increasing shortage of nurses, especially minority nurses. In the past three decades, nursing schools have worked hard to attract more minority nurses. They have increased availability of scholarships, grants, and promotion of career advantages. Because the U.S. is growing more and more diverse, increasing the number of minority health care professionals would definitely be the key to eliminate care disparities related to patient and ethnicity. “Although African-Americans, Hispanics, and American Indians make up nearly 25% of the United States population, only 9% of nurses belong to these ethnic groups,”(Mee).

employers will see in healthcare cost rise 9 percent in 2010 and they will expect their workers to pay a greater share of their plan. More workers will utilize their plans in fear of losing their job, and more uninsured and underinsured people will turn to Medicaid coverage.
