Nursing Shortage Introduction section Staff shortage is one of the significant factors affecting US healthcare and remains one of the significant barriers to nursing practice (Tourangeau et al., 2017). The relationship between nurses’ shortage and working environment has been discussed for many years. However, the correlation is still high and positive, as many issues about the working environment of nurses have not been solved. The shortage of nurses is associated with the current overwork of workers, leading to reduced productivity. It has been claimed that the lack of experienced registered nurses can lead to medication errors, infections, patient falls, and sometimes death (Guo et al., 2018).

According to many types of research that have been done on the issues, public health facilities ought to invest more in improving the working environment for nurses as a strategy to curb the problem of the nursing shortage.

The typical results of the primary problems entail systems that are difficult to audit, inaccurate and incomplete records, lack of management accounting systems, weak internal control and late account closings. These challenges are common to the poorer nations leading to the management troubles.

Various economies subscribe to the strategies that are best suited for their social and economic environment.
