Discussion1 According to “The Nursing Shortage” (2013) , The problem is not having enough nurses in health care field to provide quality care to our patients. Not having enough nurses lead to many problems and bad patient care outcome. Few examples includes Quality care which has to be majorly affected due to the shortage, patients health is affected badly by poor health care which is again possible due to the lack of nurses or in the situation of an overworked nurses. The cause and effect is widespread across the board but includes, high-demand stressful work days with little value placed on their abilities to perform as a nurse. The staff to patient ratio is generally pushed to the brink which leads to overworked, often unhealthy and frustrated employees. A tired person can never be able to provide efficient care to patients. The causes of the nursing shortage is due to inadequate resources for nursing research and education. Not recognizing and respecting nurses for their hard work, not providing competitive wages and not proving flexible schedule to the nurses. I think the solution to this problem according to “The Nursing Shortage” (2013,) Is to grant nurses more autonomy to practice their profession and to make their own decision about their patient as this builds their confidence and motivates them work harder. Facilities and hospital should also create a friendly environment that will make nurses happy and willing stay in their fields of work such as providing more incentives like bonuses and other benefits to motivates nurses to stay. And also providing nurses with flexible schedules so that they can also have some time to be with their families.

DISCUSSION 2
The problem that is pointed out in the Fact Sheet paper is that there is a nursing shortage in the United States and this problem is going to increase in the next few years. The causes of this problem are a generation of nurses retiring and leaving the facilities they have been at for years with a below recommendation level of staff, educational facilities not being able to accept all applicants due to inadequate number of staff, and nurses becoming burnout at their current jobs because of staffing issues which in return causes them to leave the profession all together. The effects of this problem are the decrease in patient care, more and more facilities working understaffed, and nurses leaving the profession they once loved. According to the Dewey Sequence we first lay out our problem, then identify a problem, analyze it, determine solutions, evaluate all possible solutions, decide on one solution, and implement it. Our problem is the shortage in nursing today and especially in the years to come, we have evaluated the problem and identified the concerns above, now we need to determine a solution. Solutions should be based on training new grads and encouraging them to stay in nursing, engaging schools and educators to expand programs and allow more applicants in each semester, and doing a flex schedule to reduce burnout. The one solution I feel is most beneficial is to enforce longer training with new grads and pair them with a seasoned nurse until they are comfortable. One reason nurses feel burn out is lack of preparation, by having them train with someone we can share the load and making transitioning to your own assignment not feel so overwhelming. It would also be a transition for someone who is about to retire, this change allows them to train someone who can take their place.

Spirituality in nursing advocate the position that a patients quality of life, health, and sense of wholeness are affected by spirituality.” (Giddens 2017. Pg 39). This would be the non-religious definition, when talking about the religious sense; “…experience, attitudes, and belief regarding God, a sense of God, and the inner person.” (Giddens 2017. Pg 39). I do not find asking questions about religious preferences and spirituality as being uncomfortable. I think there are a lot of things you can learn about a person when talking about their religion and beliefs, it can give you a clear picture on what they want when it comes to care while being hospitalized as well as what they do not want, or things that they will not accept when it comes to life saving measures based on their beliefs. Someone with different beliefs than you can be a challenge to care for but ultimately we got into this career to care for others, regardless if we think the same or not. I always make myself aware of their views and am sure to create a treatment plan that addresses their beliefs. How I feel about their beliefs is put on the back burner, differences do not affect my patient care. Since I work in a psychiatric hospital we have a lot of people that cannot communicate like you and I, if someone has been off their medications and tried to commit suicide and that is their reason for coming to us. Regardless what my beliefs are on suicide, it is important to keep open communication and build a trusting relationship with the patient.
