Abstract
This paper explores the global issue of nursing shortage by including five research
articles that explained the reasoning for the continuous shortage of nurses worldwide.
This paper explores the different methods used to come to the conclusions of some of the
explanations for nursing shortage being a global issue. Some reasons and explanations of
why nursing shortage is such a global issue are because of the specific work environment,
educational programs, and migrations. Going more into detail about these specific topics
will pursued others to get involved in the nursing field instead of running away from it.
