Over the weekend, Sarah Kliff, writing for the Washington Post's WonkBlog, discussed the difficulty that many new nurse graduates are having in finding full-time employment. Despite the nursing field continuing to grow, Ms. Kliff highlighted how nurse graduates are often unwilling to relocate and thus hinder their own job search.
Are there any new nurse graduates that are blog readers who have had similar experiences?

American Academy of Nurse Practitioners To Roll Out Educational Campaign This Week
Earlier this morning, Sarah Kliff, writing for The Washington Post's WonkBlog, detailed how the demand of health services is expected to spike over the next decade due to expanded coverage of the Patient Protection & Accountable Care Act (PPACA). In wake of the looming primary care shortage in the United States, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners is starting an educational campaign this week to explain what nurse practitioners (NP) actually do and why patients should trust them with their medical needs. As with many of the other NP scope of practice stories we have covered lately, many state and national medical groups are against expanding NPs ability to practice to the full extent of their training and it will be interesting (to say the least) to see how both the health care sector and public react to this most recent campaign.

We hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday season!
Last week, The Washington Post reported on a new bill being considered by the New York State Senate that will require all registerd nurses to obtain bachelor’s degrees within 10 years in order to keep working in the state. This intiative, “BSN in 10”, is supported by major nursing and health policy organizations across the country. The proposed legislation also directly addresses recommendation #4 made in the IOM's Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report.
