give a response to the two questions

1.There has been a nursing shortage in the US for a number of recent years with trends indicating continued decline. With the steady decrease in nurses and the increase in population in need of care, the shortage continues to rise (Harrington & Estes, 2008). Several factors that contribute to these projections is the decrease in RNs returning to the field because of long hours, limited pay, and physically demanding work (Bae, 2012). In addition, some RNs working in health care are not directly administering care for patients, preferring to work in different fields (Unruh & Fottler, 2005). Lastly, there is a decrease in schooling available for RNs because of limited academic programs, too few faculty staff, and a shortage of clinical sites (Liyakasa, 2008). The U.S. Health Department predicts this shortage to reach 29% by 2020 (U.S. DHHS, 2002). With the influx in population and growth of people needing care compounded with the decrease in care providers, the situation looks grim.
