Staffing shortage
editI have been interested in healthcare for as long as I can remember, when picking an article it was fairly easy for me because I knew a lot about how the pandemic effected the healthcare system. I chose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing_shortage article on Wikipedia and found these three topics worth commenting on: are the links able to be opened, is the article up to date, are there any grammar errors or informal language.
Links I have read a lot of articles on nursing shortages all around the US. The current article I am researching doesn't have any links to look at to give me more information. That being said, I do know that the pandemic made every hospital super short staffed. Even now it's really bad, for example there is "a global shortage of almost 4.3 million nurses, physicians and other health human resources worldwide".
Article up to date This article is up to date, but it was last edited in June of 2020. Due to it being updated in June 2020 I don't necessarily know if the data is correct because the article talks a lot about 2006 and not about 2020. When this article was last edited it was in the height of Covid 19 when the staffing matrix was the absolute worst because of the pandemic.
Grammar errors In the article there were a few grammar issues. I used grammarly to copy and paste the Wikipedia article to see the mistakes. in the article there was one mistake that stood out to me and that was "A 2020 World Health Organization report urged governments and all relevant stakeholders to create at least 6 million new nursing jobs by 2030, primarily in low- and middle-income countries, to off set the projected shortages and redress the inequitable distribution of nurses across the world." This should have been to set the projected shortages off and redress not to offset the projected shortages and redress.
Overall I would rate this apical a 8/10.There was lots of things that could have been changed to make this page a lot better. first it could have been edited more often due to the changing of the staffing shortage at all medical facilities.
