Introduction

The shortage of nurses is an international deficiency of specialized nurses. This is because the demand and the availability of the professionals do not match. The types of nurses that are hard to come by are mainly the registered nurses (RN). This shortage is mainly felt in the United States, many developed countries, and it is an international catastrophe (Krasner, 1989).
