Nurs Outlook. 2000 Sep-Oct;48(5):211-7. doi: 10.1067/mno.2000.108852.

Abstract

This analysis of workforce projections confirms that early employment withdrawal by registered nurse baby boomers could have a profound effect on US health care. The available policy mechanisms to encourage or discourage any early withdrawal require several years to implement, which makes timely decisions imperative.
