Nurses are no longer considered the doctor’s handmaid, but an important part of the medical team. Although nurses are crucial, there is an increasing shortage of nurses. The nursing shortage is causing many nursing schools to close and hospitals to not admit patients. The nursing shortage might be due to the nurses’ low income, advances in technology, and continuously being sued by their patients. The increasing shortage of nurses might be due to nurses being sued daily. Today, nurses are practicing in a “sue-happy” society, which causes many nurses to be fired or resign due to outrageous liability insurance rates.
