Do you currently practice as a nurse? If yes in what type of setting? I currently practice as a media television producer and host to educate the public on medical issues.

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Lack of knowledge given in Nursing schools on both theory and practice. Lack of surgical experience and sterile technique. There appears to be a lack of followup. Too many hours spent studying on non medical/nursing subjects. I am also concerned about the changes in health care eliminating time in hospitals etc.

How do you feel the coming nursing shortage (as baby boomer enter the healthcare system, and nurses retire in droves) will affect patient care? The retiring experienced nurses will leave a big gap in the health care system. Both their previous education and experience have saved many lives the dedication and education now appear to lack these attributes.
