Shortage of Health Carre Workers in 6 years predicted.


I was recently reading through the April 2009 AARC journal magazine and there were predictions on different health care topic which would affect RT's. One I saw that interested me was:

"There will be a national shortage of all health care providers in all sectors, Even those who frequently interact directly with patients."

This struck me as interesting because you would thinks with the unemployment rate as high as it is this would be a job sector which people would maybe flock to because of the job security of there always being sick people to take care of, but I guess this isn't so.

I starting thinking about this and realized there are large portions of society who are hardly even tapped to work as health care workers. These people would be the men of the United States. If you work in the health care sector think about it, who so you see mainly working directly with patients as a majority? Women right. There you can even break it down even more, these would mostly be white women also as a majority. Now I'm not trying to bring in the race card it's just a observation and I tried looking up some facts which I could find on this topic.

As for men in the health care workforce I wasn't able to find a overall men in health care number but I found a number for male nurses. According to the American Nursing Association only 6% of all RN's are male. Here in this article: "Is there a male nurse in the house?" about 7.5% of male nurse graduates leave the profession within 4 years of graduating. These are not good numbers.

Now when we look at the minority sector of the health care work force I found out that 1/4 of our population is made up of African American, Hispanic and American Indians but only 10% of them are in the health care field, this is according this this article: Diversity in Health care. This leaves a lot of possibilities for more health care workers.

Why don't more men work in the health care field? I believe it's the stigma and stereotype of women always being the nurses. When I say nurse I do picture a female and it's because of stereotype. Men also are not normally brought up to be caregivers like mothers. More men should really look into health care because were going to need to fill the gaps if this prediction is correct. Honestly there are a lot of perks, good pay, stability, job security, air conditioning and heat, hot looking nurses, friendly atmosphere, and the list goes one. If we are to fill these gaps in health care jobs were going to need to disperse of the stigma of men being in health care other than being doctors. Like we all know, Respiratory Therapy is a good field, and the women dig us.

Every man I know of who works in a hospital, including myself, are rejects of other careers. It's true.

Another observation I've made is that most of the men I know in nursing or RT are boring men who don't drink or quit drinking. When I used to work for a newspaper we all gathered once a week and have a drink or two or three.... Since I've been in this field, the women go out and have fun while the men stay home and watch the kids.

So, I wonder if most men in nursing have had some sort of life changing experience, while the women are simply normal women in a career suited for women or men reformed by women.

Okay, so it's 3:54 a.m. as I write this, so give me a break. lol.

Great observation.

You make a good point, I'm one of those who want to go out and have a drink and I know of one other guy here (a RN) who would do the same. Yes there are a bunch of other guys here who don't seem to be much fun.

Hot looking Nurses! That's just been added to my "why I want to be an RT" list.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.

Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sandals[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt sneakers[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]mbt shoes review[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt sneakers[/U] closer look at these special shoes.

The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt shoes review[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt sneakers[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]MBT shoes[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]MBT[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT[/URL][/B] work for some people.

More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]footwear etc[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt sandals[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] on your lower joints.


Overall owners of the MBT shoe really like the results. [B]mbt sneakers[/B] It is typical that if you walk for three or four miles at a time for several times [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] per week you will experience some weight loss. Some people are using them for every day [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] use and find that this helps to keep their legs toned and looking nice. These are just walking [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] shoes you really do not want to use them for running. It is recommended that you go to a store and try them on, as you [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] want to make sure the heel is snug and fits correctly. If the shoes fit correctly they should feel snug and it should [B]mbt sneakers[/B] feel as though you are walking on stilts when you walk in [U]footwear etc[/U] them.

Respiratory used to be a good career...now there are way too many schools pumping out new grads and not enough jobs to go around. In Arizona for ONE job opening there is 100 or more applicants. DO something else with your career choice.

Either way, this is the best way for me to [B]pandora beads[/B] report back to you all the excellent styles that are pervading the fashion scene for the [U]tiffany sets][/U] spring and summer of 2009!

If any of you saw the 2008 romantic comedy, Fool's [U][B]pandora uk[/U][/B] Gold, I'm certain you found yourself frantically Googling Kate Hudson's Palm [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany pendants[/URL][/B] Tree Necklace to find out where you could get one just like it. The palm tree necklace was popular last year, and is still flying [B]pandora beads[/B] off the shelves today.

On top of various forms of palm tree jewelry, I have [U]pandora beads[/U] found a bevvy of starfish, seahorse, and turquoise and coral-colored jewelry in the many boutiques and shops that Siesta [U]tiffany london][/U] Key boasts. Look for two-tone starfish jewelry as a big hit this spring and summer, as well [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] as the Tiffany Inspired Anchor Necklaces, which is another fan-favorite.

When we buy something, we are always [B][URL=http://www.pandoraforyou.com]pandora bangles[/URL][/B] thinking that it had better never become devaluated. The one piece that never loses [U][B]tiffany bracelets[/U][/B] its value is always what people want most. Sometimes, the one [B]pandora bracelet[/B] piece would raise its price [U][B]tiffany charms[/U][/B] with the rise of money. Here is recommended the pieces that [B]pandora bangles[/B] would always be treasured - Tiffany. The watches, bags, bracelets, necklaces. There will always be a classical piece in all the categories [U]pandora jewelry[/U] of Tiffany.

First comes to the tank watches which [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany engagement rings[/URL][/B] are the favorite of a lot of people around the world. Of course, just like other [B]tiffany necklaces[/B] kinds of watches, Tiffany watches have both man and woman [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] style. No matter what kind of style [U]tiffany pendants[/U] or color it is, the tank watch always has its classical features. The tank watch is called one [U][B]pandora bangles[/U][/B] of the very important objects in the world.

The watches have the [B]pandora bangles[/B] unique shape and "favored by all" watch bands. The mixture shape of geometry [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany rings[/URL][/B] and art gives the tank watch its lasting value. Women with the [U]tiffany engagement rings[/U] watches look more professional and modern [U]tiffany co[/U] while men with the watch seem more [U]pandora[/U] approachable.


Besides the Tiffany bracelets and bags, something [U]pandora jewelry[/U] else from Tiffany is also among the piece to be treasured, from rings to bracelets, from necklaces to [B]tiffany co[/B] brooches. Some of them might be relatively cheap while some [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] of them might be expensive. However, all of them are worth treasuring since [U][B]tiffany earrings[/U][/B] they would never devaluate as a classical [B]pandora jewelry[/B] piece.
