N.J. nurses are overworked according to Rutgers College of Nursing professor
Date:11/12/2007
(NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 12, 2007) New Jersey registered nurses are teetering on the brink of exhaustion due to heavier work loads, feeling that they are not able to provide proper patient care and receiving little support from management, according to a survey conducted by Rutgers College of Nursing faculty member Linda Flynn.

This is going to be a huge loss of nurses. But the workforce will not only be decimated by retirement but also by the number of dissatisfied nurses who may move to non-nursing positions, said Flynn, assistant professor at The College of Nursing at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. To make matters worse, qualified students are turned away from New Jersey schools of nursing due to the nursing faculty shortage. We have to do something to increase our educational capacity and hiring more nursing faculty to meet this demand.
Flynn, a Center Valley, PA resident, said health organizations should re-e
