The book Your First Year As a Nurse is written by Donna Cardillo, and Dr. Diane Mancino. In the last few decades, nursing and health care have advanced further than many of us could have imagined. Technology, research, equipment, and access to information have transformed our practice. Today’s nurse is more educated and “connected”, is more autonomous, makes more decisions, and has more authority than ever. We have come a long way in the recent past and continue to move forward, expanding our role and reach on the global healthcare stage. The early 2020s showed us the ups and downs of our profession as we commemorate the bicentennial of Florence Nightingale’s birth and celebrate the Year of the Nurse, or at least try to celebrate it while simultaneously battling a deadly pandemic. Each of these events put the spotlight on nursing like never before, underscoring the vital role we play in maintaining the health of the population and meeting their wellness needs through prevention, education, care, support, and recovery.
When the first edition of this book was published in 2001, there was a significant nursing shortage, and hospitals were hiring new nurses faster than they could complete an application. We were in the midst of a recession and nursing surplus when the second edition was published in 2010. This resulted in a severe shortage of hospital jobs for new nurses, leading some to seek nursing employment in non-hospital settings. , others to work in non-hospital settings. -Nursing positions, and some leave the profession altogether. This third edition is being published during what is anticipated to be the greatest nursing shortage in our history. The catalyst for the current shortage is not a lack of candidates, as there remains a two- to the three-year waiting list to enter entry-level nursing programs. Rather, increased need created by an aging population, an increase in chronic diseases and comorbidities in people of all ages, anticipated mass retirements from an aging workforce, and a pandemic are among the factors driving increased demand. of nurses.
