Will the future advanced technology result in the decrease of nurses needed? |
i was reading a magazine stating one of the reasons that result in the large need of nurses is the out-of-date technology, in the future, the newly state-of-art technology will reduce the number of nurses needed. is it possible? Sounds like you have been reading an article on the speculation that hospitals will invest in technology that monitors the patient consistently and even send images to a central nursing station, along with meds to be administered by robots and computerized intra venous solutions. It may happen someday, but with our growing population, I do not see a reduction in the need for nurses within the next 20-30 years. Even if we were able to find a cure for most illnesses, injuries and accidents will increase with the population grow and demand more resources. Source(s): Worked in healthcare for over 25 years. Nope , Technology is used for diagnostics . . . BUT it Never actually generate care for the sick . Unless you consider chemo care and people need more nurses when getting chemo than if they didn't get it ! And since more of the population is getting older . And more of the younger populations is getting obese, You are going to need more and more nurses . > 10 years of hospital work Saw newest tech , but didn't see cures . Consider too that we will live longer resulting in a larger geriatric population requiring more nurses not less. |
