Over at NursingZen I was a bit disheartened to read that the Dean of the School of Nursing at UCSF has made the somewhat dire statement to outgoing nursing students that San Francisco is "the only place in the country that has no nursing shortage". Economists do seem to be projecting a lull in the immediate need for new nurses. Some other analysts are telling us it's not so.This is a hard one to second-guess, as it seems doubtful that delayed retirement, or current nurses moving from part to full-time work, would so easily dissolve this long-standing deficiency. Still, nursing students take heed: any job is a good job until there is an economic upturn, which, judging by all local predictors, could be a while.
