The Pending National Nursing Workforce Crisis

To access this course:
The pending national nursing workforce crisis is being experienced in different ways in every sector, including the acute system, critical care, aged care, primary health as well as during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
ACN is bringing together a panel of high-profile nurse leaders to discuss how to use workforce modelling, nursing skill and skills mix to address this looming crisis and safeguard the provision of appropriate nursing care. The discussion was based on ACN's Surge Workforces Position Statement.
The consequences of our ability, or inability, to provide care and services during COVID-19 are severe as the Government considers alternative options including relying on unregulated workers and undergraduate students.
