While there are nursing professional shortage in many countries of the world, in Ohio the nursing programs are even more dynamic, busy and productive. Just recently the program got a five-year approval from the state regulatory agency, the Ohio Board of Nursing (OBON). The program aims to safeguard the health needs of people through proper health care as well as on the effective nursing care.
It should be noted that the BON is regularly evaluating the programs in the career education for purposes of determining the student’s needs, so that many new nursing professionals can work immediately as registered nurses.
So far, the RWC are able to generate 58 graduates and they all pass the licensure examination for registered nurses. This means the program is very effective aside from being so reasonable in terms of success.
Jennifer Pearce, program head, said the success of the program can be attributed to the faculty’s dedication, scholarships and their commitment to teaching. This program paves the way for many students to open up their minds on the course. The school is also considering of a nursing online education degree in the future.
The upcoming National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) in November 2009 would be another challenge for everyone. The accreditation process is very important because it will be recognizing nursing programs the schools has been implementing.
The RWC program is not only exceeding the highest standards in the nursing profession but the highest national quality standards. In fact, the school is the first to use the 2008 standards in measuring quality. The nursing faculty also attended a two-day training and workshop to be able to help demands meet for the newly created and developed standards in nursing.
Last month, the school also hired the services of three additional full time faculty members and they were: Professor Carol Price, formerly an RWC graduate; Professor Melanie Kroger-Jarvis and Professor Jennifer Ellis. The three of them have a good teaching experience and they are expected to help promote more quality nursing education in the coming months.

A recent survey in the US reported that the biggest employers of local and international nurses are hospitals. The Department of Health and Human Services said as per record hospitals employed 56.2 percent of the total nurses that are now working in the US. This is also followed by the community health centers that are run by the government and private groups at 14.9 percent. The ambulatory care also got a total employment of 11.5 for nurses aside from physicians and nursed base practices.
The shocking revelation about the survey is that only 2.6 percent of professional nurses applied I nursing education and this perhaps explains the shortage in nursing professionals in the US, the DHHS continued. Though there are now boarding schools for nurses in the US to strengthen enrollments of more nurses. Other offices which also hire the services of nursing professionals include health associations, federal administrative agencies, State boards of nursing, insurance companies, jails, equipment and pharmaceutical companies.
The career education for nursing is now among the pressing concerns of the US government. For the meantime their solution is only to hire more nursing professionals as well as nursing aides in developed countries of the world while they experiencing a decline in nursing professionals in their country. It said that the 2.6 percent number of nursing working as educators is really a problem right now. The American government is now strengthening its student loan education program to be able to drive new nursing graduates. The US government has been throwing millions of dollars salaries to international nurses which found their homes in the American soul. In fact, there are nurses in Asia that are now green card holders in America. They prefer to live in the US saying that the country is a good place for living. There are many works available and people should not feel worried of having no job.
