Nursing shortages have plagued the occupation from its infancy. Analysis of works by M. Adelaide Nutting and Isabel Stewart reveals factors that early leaders identified as concerns or causes of past shortages. Although both Stewart and Nutting identified serious problems in the nature of nursing work, both recommended improvements in nursing's educational programs along with publicity campaigns as possible solutions. A case study of the Peter Bent Brigham School in Boston suggests that early leaders focussed on these strategies for change because the position of nursing in the hospital left them powerless to initiate meaningful change in the nature of nursing work.
护理短缺自护理职业诞生之初便一直困扰着它。对M.阿德莱德·纳廷和伊莎贝尔·斯图尔特著作的分析揭示了早期领导者认定的过去短缺的相关问题或原因。尽管斯图尔特和纳廷都指出了护理工作性质方面的严重问题，但两人都建议改进护理教育项目并开展宣传活动，将其作为可能的解决方案。对波士顿彼得·本特·布里格姆学校的一项案例研究表明，早期领导者专注于这些变革策略，因为护理在医院中的地位使他们无力对护理工作的性质发起有意义的变革。
