The document discusses the global nursing shortage and examines whether a lack of male nurses is contributing to the problem. It outlines factors that have led to nursing becoming a predominantly female profession historically, such as Florence Nightingale's influence, and how this has created barriers that discourage men from entering the field today. These barriers include stereotypes, lack of male role models in nursing education, and discrimination. The document recommends ways to attract more men to nursing, such as changing societal views, increasing the number of male educators, and teaching skills for providing intimate care to patients of all genders.

Nursing Shortage
The shortage in the nursing profession has been an issue for over several years. Especially following COVID-19 suddenly gotten worse. St. Mary Elizabeth Hospital is no exception to this growing issue. Nurses make up the majority of medical practitioners and are essential to the industry. There remains a demand for more skilled educators in the perioperative environment and less even workforce distribution. Many serious factors cause the lack of nurses. As the age increases, there is a greater necessity for medical coverage. The authenticity is that, instead of taking just one illness, senior adults typically have illnesses and founders that necessitate professional care. Overall, individuals exist lengthier, a growing ultimatum for well-being care. Many chronic illnesses that were previously fatal are now treatable (Mar et al., 2019). The baby boom generation is still at a stage where they might need more medical attention as society ages. Today, more incredible Americans than ever previously time in history are above the age of 65.
According to Haddad et al. (2022, disclosed Nursing employment is anticipated to increase by 6% during the following ten years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Number Of simulations 2021–2031. The number of Nurses working in the profession is expected to rise by 195,400 from 3.1 million in 2021 to 3.3 million in 2031. When nurses retire, they get pension benefits and labor strength leave benefits which are prudently essential in the United States. More than 203,200 positions for Nursing professionals have become vacant in consecutive years. In addition, the nursing staff is shrinking. There are about one million nurse practitioners who are above 50. Thus, it shows that in ten to fifteen years, one in the workforce may be quitting. This figure includes medical faculties, which poses a unique problem since it necessitates training many more nurses with scarce assets. Constraints on admittance and a decline in the nursing practice's number of nurses can generate both results of a nursing faculty shortage.
Fewer students may register, and the curriculum's and the scholar's general superiority of education may worsen due to a condensed and forced facility. Some newly hired nurses find that the profession differs from what they had imagined after starting their jobs. Others might become employed for a while before giving up after getting overworked. The incidence of nurse burnout is tapering off after years of progressively increasing levels. Furthermore, the spectrum of the average income employee turnover, which spans between 8.8% to 37.0%, is determined by nursing discipline and locale (Rosseter, 2014). Enhancing nurses' labor conditions is insufficient. It is also essential to consider the caliber of nursing knowledge prov.

Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
