The nursing shortage is as old as the dawn of modern nursing itself. Of the 38 nurses under the supervision of Florence Nightingale and who arrived with her in Scutari on November 4, 1854, three were gone by January 1855. One was dismissed for drunkenness, another for ill health, and the third for incompetence—these reasons for leaving or being asked to leave nursing resonate in modern times.

It has been said that in business, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to get to a potential buyer. The more frogs that say no, the closer you are to “yes”. Unfortunately, we as nurses are programmed that if someone says “no” to us, we tend to take it personally. But “no” just means “not now”. “No” is nothing personal. How many times do you say no and it’s nothing personal?
