Nurses save more lives

ings into question the cost-cutting practice at some hospitals of replacing RNs with less skilled nursing staff.

``There's a tremendous amount of judgment and understanding of the courses of illness that RNs bring to the bedside,'' said Jack Needleman, the Harvard health policy researcher who led the study. ``It's not just a matter of having more bodies.'' He said hundreds of patients - possibly thousands - die each year from lack of advanced nursing care.

The average vacancy rate for RN jobs is 13 percent, according to a report commissioned by the American Hospital Association. And many expect the shortage to grow with the aging of the nursing work force and the general population. The Harvard study, which was funded by the government, is meant to give direction to policy makers on medical costs and nurse staffing.
