Calling perioperative nursing ground zero for the coming shortage of skilled nurses, writer Rose O. Sherman, a nursing educator and researcher, says “A severe shortage of perioperative nurses could have devastating impact on our healthcare delivery system.” While shortages exist in many specialties, she says a combination of an aging perioperative nursing workforce, the curtailment and even elimination of academic training in this critical area, plus the unique nature of this surgical practice makes the recruiting situation more challenging than for other specialties.
