Proposed Qualitative Research: The National Nursing Shortage
The healthcare industry has a significant challenge ahead of it and most evidence suggests that the severity of this challenge will only get worse if resolutions aren't soon implemented. Here, we refer to the national nursing shortage that deprives hospital patients of quality care, that overburdens nurses on duty and that generally detracts from the performance of a healthcare facility on the whole. Worse yet, evidence suggests that the continuing retirement of the baby boomer generation is increasing the patient population on a scale with which current nursing employment simply can't keep up. Indeed, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) (2012), "the United States Registered Nurse Workforce Report Card and Shortage Forecast" published in the January 2012 issue of the American Journal of Medical Quality, a shortage of registered nurses is projected to spread across the country between 2009 and 2030."
This is why we propose a research endeavor here aimed at better understanding the reasons that many hospitals are facing nursing shortages. Only by better understanding some of the perceived reasons for staffing shortages...

This has led to an obvious gap between what is experienced in the practical healthcare settings by nurses and what is taught in lecture halls (Saifan, AbuRuz, & Masa'deh, 2015). Nursing practice is just one of the areas of healthcare that is experiencing

Nursing Shortage Background and Current Reality The shortage of nursing staff in the workforce has become a global crisis. Numerous research articles and even books have been written on the subject from all around the world, all giving causal factors and possible solutions. As far back as 2002, "90 nurses' organizations, representing 69 countries and every geographic region of the world, reported shortages in their countries" (Clark & Clark, 2003). Moreover, the
Nursing Research HIPAA Proposal Patient privacy protection is a cornerstone of any patient bill of rights and is a major goal of any nurse or medical professional. Without privacy, the basis of trust necessary to facilitate patient healing simply can not occur. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) increasingly dominates the nursing landscape. Safeguarding private patient information is not just important. It is the law. HIPAA provides
