One of the top concerns in healthcare today is insufficient nurse staffing. The nursing shortage is predicted to increase over the next several years. “The need for nurses is expected to grow to 26% by the year 2020” (Johnson & Johnson, 2013). This number is faster than the average occupation. “The aging baby boomer population will place a demand on healthcare for more health services as people live longer” Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012-2013).
