Aging Baby Boomers, people living longer, and the increasing complexity of healthcare have all increased the demand for nurses. Insufficient nursing faculty results in turning potential nursing students away from nursing programs because there aren't enough educated faculty to teach them. Mandatory overtime, working holidays and weekends, long hours without breaks, and other working conditions can cause nurses to leave the profession. There is no lack of nursing organizations and this does not contribute to the nursing shortage, and there is no lack of interest in nursing but not everyone is designed to be a nurse.
