This is an incredibly difficult question to answer. One thing is certain. With or without Obama Care Authentic Rick Barry Jersey , there is going to be a tremendous demand for RNs. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching released a study in December 2009 indicating that nursing education programs need to increase their capacity by 90% to meet current and projected shortages.
So, my question is this. Is there anything in the Healthcare Reform Bill to address this problem of an ongoing shortage of RNs? Sadly, the answer is no. In fact, rather than creating incentives to double almost the number of nurses our country's schools are graduating, which is what the Carnegie study says we need, the bill has become another affirmative action program. Here's a synopsis of what the bill offers to graduate more nurses from our medical programs.
If a medical school desires to receive contracts and grants from the federal government Authentic Mitch Richmond Jersey , it must prove to the Health and Human Services Secretary that it operates under a quota system by training individuals from under- represented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds.
Is this really a solution to our nursing shortage? Or is it designed to garner support from minority voters at the expense of the needs of our nation's healthcare industry? You must understand that although this may alleviate shortages in some areas of the country with significant minority populations, other areas of the country will be hung out to dry, simply because there are not enough minorities to recruit. Isn't our nursing shortage too important an issue to become a political football?
There is nothing in the legislation to address the facultystudent ratio. This is the principal reason we aren't matriculating more nurses from our educational system. There simply isn't sufficient faculty to teach all those who apply. The number of faculty members qualified to teach nursing is dwindling. Their ranks are shrinking due to retirement and other factors. A meaningful reform package would address this problem. Instead, we get affirmative action!
Our government has but three options:
1. Adjust the facultystudent ratio to allow more students to enter nursing programs. 2. Create incentives that will increase available faculty. 3. Raise the number of work visas granted to foreign nurses.
Let's examine these options in a little more depth.
If we change the facultystudent ratio, there is the possibility that we will matriculate nurses with weaker skills. Scratch this one.
Creating incentives to increase available faculty does not seem to have a downside, provided it is not politicized.
Bringing in foreign nurses Authentic Chris Mullin Jersey , is, in effect, outsourcing American jobs. Not a positive for our country as the manufacturing industry has clearly demonstrated. We already have an unemployment rate unprecedented since the Great Depression.
We must pressure our local, state and national representatives to address the nursing shortage in a manner that benefits our country, our healthcare delivery system and our people. There certainly must be other solutions to the problem beyond what I have proposed. Press our government officials to find the best solution, for healthcare Authentic Latrell Sprewell Jersey , for our country and our people. Current status of boron carbide powder industry in China Business Articles | June 12, 2012 It has been more than one hundred years since boron carbide powder in manufactured in 1893.Boron carbide powder is applied in many fields from the resistance furnace test to the electric arc furnace production and a horizontal furnace smelting to vertical furnace smelting.
But in past, people were not familiar with it. Now the demand from the world is from several tons to several thousand tons. Chinese output is from dozens of tons year to million tons year. Quickly development of boron powder makes the industries surprised.
Boron carbide powder is commonly used in grinding and polishing of carbide, precious stones and other hard materials have a very high grinding capacity is ideal for the hardest man-made abrasive; boron carbide powder has good chemical stability, can resistance to acid, alkali corrosion Authentic Wilt Chamberlain Jersey , and thus as a corrosion-resistant materials to acid, alkali components; boron carbide high temperature, the melting temperature up to 2450 ° C, heat-resistant products and advanced refractory raw materials; boron carbide powder is a high-performance structural ceramics and composite super-hard, ultra-high temperature ceramic materials, often made into a wear-resistant nozzles Authentic Tim Hardaway Jersey , water jet nozzle, the mechanical seal ring, mud pump plunger, high temperature, impeller; because of its high hardness, ceramics used aerospace equipment protection Authentic Andre Iguodala Jersey , universal application in helicopters, bullet-proof armor, body armor, ship coating; boron carbide powder has good neutron absorbing properties, has been widely used in the nuclear industry, nuclear reactor shielding panels and neutron absorbing pellets.
Boron carbide powder in different areas of mechanical grinding Authentic D'Angelo Russell Jersey , refractory, chemical, engineering ceramics, the nuclear industry and military applications, the quality of boron carbide are also some differences, their dosage is increasing Authentic Draymond Green Jersey , so the mass of boron carbide had its The main raw material boric acid present different requirements, and thus beginning to use the boric acid.
Chinese metal powder suppliers locate in Mudanjiang and Heihe, Dalian, Tongliao, Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang. Existing boron carbide powder smelting capacity of 10000-12000 tons year, boron carbide processing capacity of over 8000 tons year. In fact Authentic Stephen Curry Jersey , the plant at full capacity, almost half of existing products for export. In recent years, the level of the boron carbide powder production volatility in demand 2400-3000 tons and foreign demand for 3000-3500, The usage propor.
