Although significantly smaller than its larger counterparts, Missouri faces a nursing shortage as well. The current nursing shortage as we know it sweeps the nation like a plague, and it’s affecting the quality of health care in our very own “Show Me State.” In fact, statistics predict that Missouri is three times as likely to suffer from a shortage increase compared to the rest of the nation.
There are a few important factors contributing to this shortage, and for the problem to resolve, those factors have to be addressed immediately. The biggest factor is a shortage of nursing programs and nursing educators. As a result, 79 of its countries fall short of meeting federal guidelines.
To meet the state’s demand for higher quality health care, Missouri needs to find and hire professional clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners, and nurse-midwives. For this reason alone, many of the state’s health care facilities require each member of their staff to have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree.
