Abstract
In the effort to solve the problem of our own nursing shortage, we concluded that an innovative and creative method must be sought to satisfy both short-term and long-term staffing needs. Statistics pointed to the dwindling enrollment figures in nursing programs, the lack of interest in a nursing career among high school students, and the generally declining number of college-age students. Our strategy was to tap a few students from that evaporating pool by hiring student nurses on a part-time basis in their senior year, giving them academic guidance throughout their clinical experience, and allowing them an opportunity to view the working role of the critical care nurse.
