Nursing Shortage Strains Lowcountry Hospitals
In Charleston area hospitals the nurse shortage is judged severe with Aiken County Hospital listing a few vacancies but not a full shortage. Charleston County Hospital seeks five more RNs for night shifts and five or six for evenings while using extra supervisors and licensed practical nurses to bridge the gap. Roper Hospital reports 60 beds unusable without adequate nursing and waits four to five weeks for surgery due to staffing limits. Trident Regional Hospital notes adequate current staffing but ongoing need for more RNs. Evening and night shifts are hardest, and many day nurses resist night work.
