Nursing shortages are often a result of a lack of nurses available to work in a particular area. This can be due to factors such as low retention rates, high turnover rates, or a lack of interest in the nursing profession in certain regions. While healthcare legislation and population declines can impact nursing shortages to some extent, workforce availability is the most likely explanation. The aging of the baby boomers may actually increase the demand for nurses rather than decrease it due to the increased need for healthcare services as this population ages.
