My topic of choice is Nurses. !-2 pages is all that is needed. This is for a discussion due Friday.
Consider the following questions:
- What are the most important issues or challenges for this profession that relate to workforce planning? (Your group must identify at least one significant issue or challenge for this assignment.)
- What aspects of the history or characteristics of this profession contribute to each challenge?
- For each challenge, what similarities and differences can be identified from local, national, and international perspectives?
- How does the knowledge of economics and policy that you have gained from previous courses in this MHA program inform your understanding of each challenge?
- What strategies related to workforce planning would you recommend to address each challenge? Evaluate the intended and unintended consequences of each strategy that you recommend.
